It will popup the battery status. I like xbattbar very much compared to others mentioned elsewhere in the thread. However it has one server bug that it displays (on xterm) really wild amount of remaining battery time. In that regard, all asapm, xbatt, wmbattery, wmapmload, & wmapm display correct amount of remaining time. I didn't like... - xbatt: need to move the mouse over to see the capacity, and does not show remaining time - wmapmload: hard to read (could be "fixed" in Xv) - wmapm: i have broken APM (Dell I5Ke) & those suspend/sleep buttons are too inviting Anyway, before i bothered w/ checking various options for graphical battery status, i was using... apm | xmessage - parv --=20 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
