I'm trying to find some way that I can enable power management on my Linux laptop (2.6.10 kernel, I may upgrade to 2.6.12) so that I can get a report on its battery status.

APM doesn't seem to want to work for me, and the only other choice I can see of is ACPI.

Does anybody know of any way I can get a report on my current battery level with ACPI?

Is there any other way I can get a report of my battery level without ACPI/APM?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Yeah, I've done it with ACPI, but I don't remember.  I think something on linuxquestions.org helped, though.
