It is an ACPI laptop and I played around a bit. I still get that error message about ACPI but now I have a working battery applet which shows me the status. I get the warning signals at the defined states of power and the laptop does a suspend to disk when power runs down to 5%. Do I need more? "More Power!" (Thanks, Tim and Al!) wobo
