Re: [Mactel-linux-devel] Battery indicator problem

[Scott L. P. <pr...@df...>]

So far from my preliminary testing the battery indicator doesn't seem to
go away if I don't load the applesmc module.  I will have to test it a
couple of days more to be sure, but the battery information usually went
away within 6 hours.  It has been more than 24 hours now and I still
have it.
