This should work fine with ACPI enabled. This link gives some nice instructions on how to enable ACPI: http://fedora.artoo.net/faq/#Radeon9800 The upstream bug where support for two batteries was added is: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89681 Mark This, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89681, is very old stuff. We are in march 2004 now. Kevin Vandersloot, presumably gnome-applets maintainer (in 2002?) states that the Hanno Boeck patch for the battstat applet to read 2 batteries has been applied. If so it has not filtered down to the Fedora Core 1 and Fedora Core 2 test1 level. Gnome-applets-2.5.6-1 (FC2T1) still only recognizes 1 battery whether using APM or ACPI. If the patch really works it would be very nice if the RH/Fedora gnome-applets maintainer could also apply it (permanently). Ah, I see now. The battery applet shows the aggregate battery power for all the batteries on the system, but you want an indicator for each battery. This is a feature request, rather than just a bug so I'm going to forward it upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147877 |
Description of problem: When 2 batteries are inserted in a laptop the battery charge monitor applet on gnome-panel continues to display only one battery with the mean charge of both batteries. It would be more logical to display 2 batteries on the panel when the laptop has 2 batteries inserted. Each 'seperate battery display' monitoring only the charge of 1 battery. This should be done for apm and for acpi! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
