Hi BarryK,
First of all, thanks for Puppy.
Love it. Have it installed in a laptop and a netbook.
Though, my laptop doesn't show a proper battery status icon.
The icon is there, but it's always grey no matter if the laptop is connected to AC or not.
But if I click on the battery icon I can see all info on my laptop's battery.
This happens with both latest Wary and Lupu.
My laptop is an HP/Compaq nx6310 currently running Lupu528 with Instant-update-001.
Here's a quick debugging that I did:

Code: Select all

sh-4.1# pwd
/proc/acpi/battery/C1BC
sh-4.1# cat info
present:                 yes
design capacity:         4062 mAh
last full capacity:      4062 mAh
battery technology:      rechargeable
design voltage:          11100 mV
design capacity warning: 204 mAh
design capacity low:     41 mAh
capacity granularity 1:  100 mAh
capacity granularity 2:  100 mAh
model number:            Primary
serial number:           42739 2009/12/16
battery type:            LIon
OEM info:                Hewlett-Packard
sh-4.1# cat state 
present:                 yes
capacity state:          ok
charging state:          discharging
present rate:            1706 mA
remaining capacity:      1560 mAh
present voltage:         10709 mV
As you can see, my battery is in /proc/acpi/battery/C1BC and not BAT0/BAT1.
Also, if I had a secondary battery, it would be in /proc/acpi/battery/C1BB because that folder is already there.
I am already running the latest powerapplet_tray from this blog post of yours http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02512 .
Can you help me with this?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

PS: weird things seems to happen with HP batteries, huh?
PS2: what if powerapplet_tray had a conf file where we could manually "hack" the right directory name? Just a stupid thought at 4am... ;)
