#1 lore raw

Hi, I'm a linux newbye.
I installed Ubuntu Linux Breezy(5.10) on my notebook:
acer travelmate 4000 WLMI.
Everything run but the battery.
I can't see the battery status.
I tryed to patch the kernel (2.6.12) following the wiki instructions:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ACPIBattery
But nothing happened.
I didn't find the right patch on sourceforge, I used the TM 4001 patch, may be this is the problem...
Someone can help me, please?
Tanks.
Marco

PS: sorry about my english...

Hi,

I might be wrong, but this sounds like the Smart Battery "problem" on Acer notebooks. Have a look at https://sourceforge.net/projects/sbs-linux/

It's not only the DSDT on Acer. I have no link for documentation, so maybe you want to also search the net.

Cheers, Martin
