Hi, My New Year's Eve consisted of my diving into the task of installing FreeBSD 4.3 on an older Toshiba laptop - a Satellite Pro 470CDT. Despite my nervousness about the operation it went remarkably well and the box seems to work great: even X works, which was a concern. Today I started wondering about battery-level monitoring. Apparently, power management support is pretty flaky. I tried the suggested tactics for getting the apm function to work (short of recompiling it into the kernel) and no go. I guess my question is - is my only recourse to keep the thing plugged in?
