Hmm.. with the KDE monitor disabled it appears to be happening every 30=20 seconds now. It's odd because the KDE monitor is set for every 5 seconds.. I note that if I do 'acpiconf -i 1' it will hitch, but if I do it again soo= n=20 afterwards it won't. I don't have a second battery - perhaps the hitching = in=20 that case was related to looking for it, and the ACPI stuff was caching (fo= r=20 a short period) the no-battery information. Now to find the source of the 30 second hitches :) =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart1396738.PM6v8rSiWg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDIMsE5ZPcIHs/zowRAjxeAJ46VhIXQeWfcHEteffgy8LbfR5r8gCdH3g4 kTmOz94uk20nugdMys1RTOY= =Sot3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1396738.PM6v8rSiWg--
