I had been running FreeBSD/Gnome-2.4.x on my OmniBook XE2 successfully since original installation off the 4.7 Rel CD-Set. This was my problem-free state until Sunday 16th Nov 2003, when I finally decided to cvsup to 4.9Stable. Since then I've noticed that the battery status applet thingy on the bottom of the desktop has stopped appearing on Gnome login. I still get the "BattStat...," (not sure what its called, sorry) icon appearing in the start-up Splash screen, but no battery status applet. I did check to make sure that I've got apm enabled in the kernel: device apm0 at nexus? flags 0x20 # Advanced Power Management That its still enabled in /etc/rc.conf: omni# grep -i apm /etc/rc.conf apm_enable="YES" omni# And that the APM device is still recognised on boot: omni# dmesg | grep -i apm apm0: on motherboard apm0: found APM BIOS v1.2, connected at v1.2 omni# There are no messages related to apm in either /var/log/messages, nor /var/log/security. Has anyone else noticed this? Are there any other places I could check for related errors / messages that would tell me why this has stopped working? Here's the uname info: omni# uname -a FreeBSD omni.vickiandstacey.com 4.9-STABLE FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE #2: Mon Nov 17 00:24:01 GMT 2003 stacey@omni.vickiandstacey.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/XE2 i386 omni# Do let me know if there is any more information I could provide. Thanks for the time. Regards, Stacey
