Hi,
First of all thanks for your answer.
I have solved my "always 100%" problem by changing my bios setup: I have change the default to "maximum power saving" and the % works again. I still do not understand why the default stop working ...
About the PS/2 touch pad and apm :
When the machine is AC off-line and I use an X-apm utility, after some times, the mouse become a little bit crazy: the click effect is 1 cm up that it should be. I can stop this by suspend and resume or living X and come back. Note that this happen with or without gpm running. I be come "sure" that some apm utility is the cause of the problem when I used xbatstat : the bad click effect become exactly when I start this apm utility (and if I suspend and resume without killing xbatstat then the click effect become more crazy). IMVHO, these utilities ask the battery status very often (xbatstat very very often, I thing: I am not able to read the source) and this give raise to a conflict with the PS/2 touch pad (I have see in dejanews some messages about conflict between ppp (via the serial port) and the apm) More info: interupt: 12: 8810 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse /proc/misc : 134 apm / 1 psaux ls -l /dev/apm_bios /dev/psaux : crw------- 1 root root 10, 134 jan 9 16:04 /dev/apm_bios crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 1 mar 31 18:30 /dev/psaux The machine: Compaq presario 1234 (quite similar to the more popular 1220 and 1240). The bios is a "Pheonix" version 1.2. Here a cat /proc/apm : 1.9 1.2 0x03 0x00 0x00 0x01 60% -1 ? .
[offtopic] Note also that an apm -S give me the following message: Mar 31 20:09:42 snoopy kernel: apm: standby: Unable to enter requested state and apm -s do nothing (I can "suspend" with Fn F4 and the machine can suspend when it have to do !). Is this normal ?
Many Thanks again, Olivier
