Re: Mac/PMU Gnome 3 Battery Applet
I did not have it loaded. I just ran 'modprobe pmu_battery' and the normal battery icon appeared. But, it doesn't seem to be working. I continually shows the battery is fully charged, when it is not. Well, now that I know how this is supposed to work, I can look up some more info on it and see if I can get it to work that way. Thanks for letting me know about pmu_battery Herminio.

Also do you have the module pmu_battery loaded? On my iBook G4 running MATE I need to manually load and add it to /etc/modules for my battery indicator to work.
