Re: ACPI patch for the Gnome2 battery applet
well, I'm using version 0.5 and it works, i looked at the code and at every execution the directory /proc/acpi is scanned to find out relevant info. my suggestion was meant just to look at the code and maybe rework it a bit to read /proc/acpi only at startup and develop a user interface around it. -- mattia On Wed, 25 Sep 2002 07:28:16 -0700 "Carl B.
