I don't know what ACPI CVS is on SF, point me to > it and I'll be happy to delete it. hehe no problem, I was under the impression that was the 'official' site for acpi, but i found that odd seeing as nothing on the site seemed newer than ~12 months, and i knew that ACPI had undergone some fixes/changes since then. Anyways, thanks for the help. It's nice to have a bettery monitor now, although Im guessing my laptop doesnt support other extensions [i.e. current cpu temp in c is -------], but i suppose I can kind my answers about that stuff in the man pages/documentation. Anyways thanks for the help with the ACPI. jnf - -- It is only the great men who are truly obscene.
