Thanks for your test and reply.

/usr/local/bin/upower --monitor-detail
is working fine; from time to time it reports the battery/power details;

How I can do this exactly? I only see:
Session lock
Session Logout
System Hibernate
System Sleep

Btw: I'm starting KDE4 via 'startx' after login into alpha console;
maybe this is the problem at all? Because, how the system shutdown can
be done as normal user...

# sysctl hw.acpi.battery
hw.acpi.battery.life: 94
hw.acpi.battery.time: 320
hw.acpi.battery.state: 1
hw.acpi.battery.units: 1
hw.acpi.battery.info_expire: 5

Thanks again

La referencia de la Duma a la anexión de la RDA, en este caso al contrario con la Crimlía sin
referéndum, no solamente tiene gracia sino da en el blanco.-
