René Rebe made ACPI patch for gnome-applets. But as he says it is OBSOLETE, it does't work with my kernel(linux 2.4.20). So I revised.

gnome-applets-1.4.0.4-acpi2.4.20.patch (License) (2003/5/21)

Changelog

/proc/acpi/battery/0/{info,status} →/proc/acpi/BAT1/{info,state}
/proc/acpi/BAT1/state has new entry.

These change are strongly dependent on my environment (Vine Linux 2.6/Kernel-2.4.20@Sony Vaio PCG-SR9G/K), So this patch doesn't work on many machine. But if you know C little, try these easy change.

ToDo:

To-do to contribute.(I don't because I can use this on my pc.)

APM/ACPI auto detection
Configureable ACPI proc path
Multi battery
Detect entry by words before ':' , instead of line number
(and revive gnome 1.4 )
