Thanks again, but I can't find anything about power management under
Preferences, System Settings or System Tools anywhere on the gnome
desktop - so it's still a mystery I'm afraid.
I am not at my home office, but my quarterly visit to my division's
office. Thus I only have this Centos 5 system.....

oops.
I think I was looking in the wrong place. Check out your power
management preferences. Is it set to always show the icon?

Thanks, but how do I install the battery app on the gnome panel?
I see that battery.ko is in lib/modules/..../acpi (together with lots
of .png images in other folders) but how do I get it working on the
gnome panel? Do I have to yum install acpi or what?
Thanks,
Andy

I've got CentOS 4.4 installed on 3 machines - two laptops and a PC. Only
one, a HP Omnibook 900, shows the graphical battery status indicator (in
the bottom right of the screen), but the other laptop (a new Dell
Inspiron 1501) doesn't show it. Furthermore, the command /usr/bin/apm
gets the response 'no apm support in kernel' - I've tried yum-updating
the kernel and installing apm but to no avail. Any suggestions please as
it's obviously very useful/necessary to have a battery indicator!
Check to see if acpi is installed. It replaces apm, I think :)
And are you using gnome and installed the battery app on the panel on
those Dells? I remember having to install it myself....
