[NCLUG] notebook power

I'm running KRUD 9 on my hp pavilion ze5300. I cannot monitor battery
life. I have discovered that acpi is the newer way to do so. APM support
is not in my kernel, though I've updated the kernel directly from RedHat
a few times since I did the install from KRUD. ACPI support also doesn't
appear to be in my kernel. Are there any options short of getting kernel
source and making a new kernel? Can anyone point me to current wisdom?

TIA, William
