Hello, there!
I have recently installed FreeBSD 7.2-release on my HP compaq v3913tu laptop, and upgraded it to 7.2-release-p3. The acpi is not working very properly. Besides the problems about suspending and resuming, I couldn't get the battery status via 'sysctl' or 'acpiconf'. But if I start kde4.3.0 or kde4.3.1, then from the battery status widget, I can check the status of the battery.
So I am wondering if they are using different techniques to check the status, and if it's possible to check the status without kde4.3.* running. Thanks!
