Problem with Battery Icon

[gnj]

I have recently installed Fedora Core 3 on my presario 2100 notebook. It works however it's not accurate. Sometimes the gnome panel wont tell me if it's charging untill I reboot, also If I take out my AC when the battery is fully charged the icon stays at 100 % until I reboot or log out. Can someone help me?

hey.. if using APM, try checking out the /proc/apm see what it indicates as the state of things.

 

have you attempted to restart the battery monitor? maybe restart apmd ?

 

not sure .. never used a laptop :)
