This is pmudmon. A gnome-applet battery monitor for the apple ibook. This program has also been reported to work on The powerbook G3 wallstreet, wallstreet II, and Lombard. If you manage to get this to work on any other powerbooks please email me. If this doesn't work on your powerbook email me and I'll see if I can make it work. In order for this program to work you must have a fairly recent kernel. To get a recent one go to google.com, type in benh, hit I'm feeling lucky to find benh's website. Then you must download a recent version of pmud. I got my version from rpmfind.net. That's about it. Just type make; make install; It should appear in the monitors section of your applets menu.
Starting in version 0.3 you can compile this as a windowed application.
This means you can use it in other enviroments. See the makefile for
this. There is a really good article on how to install this under kde
