I bought the computer (a brand new ThinkPad T42) last week. I had initiallyinstalled FC1, then moved to FC2, which produced a lot of suffering for me, and then finally came back to FC1. This is a new problem that I had not had with the two previous installations. It seems that apm is running, but I do not know if it's running correctly. This is what I did: last night the battery was low, and I just closed the lid sending it to hibernate. Today, I open the lid and got the computer running again. NO problems at all. Then I noticed that apm was not registering any recharging of the battery at all. It tells me that the computer was @ 12% but it did not indicate any recharging of the battery. The funny thing is that indicates that it has a high level of charge: i.e. 12% (high). What is really confusing is that the light on the built-in screen panel in my T42 tells me that is doing OK. what do you think? xavier On Sun, 26 Sep 2004 17:15:45 -0400, Scot L.
