Hi I would like to know how to tell Fedora that my PC is a NoteBook.
How do I go about doing this??? Also how can I tell if i'm using apm
or acpi? the suspend command don't work as per the "Battery thread
earlier
--
1. if I try to suspend with the battery applet I get the following error
The Suspend command '/usr/bin/apm -s' was unsuccessful
One response i got was this....
The current kernels default to acpi instead of apm for power management.
I *believe*, although I'm not sure, that if you stop the acpid service
and start the apmd service then you can use apm for power management.
2. it seems that the battery life drains really fast if I run just
on
the battery. Is there a setting I can change so the battery won't get
drained so fast?
Read these:
man laptop_mode
man laptop-mode.conf
less /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.10/Documentation/laptop-mode.txt
No such entries in my PC for the above 3
