ACPI is not fully supported on all systems. E.g. I get the Battery applet working fine on my HP/Compaq Presario 2133, and I can cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temprature to get the current system/cpu temp, but things like suspect/hibernate don't work yet. you could try the swsusp (software suspend) package, tho I've never tried it so I can't vouch for its usefullness. -Dan On Wed, 26 Nov 2003, Simon Bell wrote: > Hi > > I have a Sharp PC-FS2518 laptop.
