>my laptop is thinkpad t61, and i do not have /proc/acpi/battery/BATO/state... :( now i have a damn wired good news. all the problems i talked about are gone. :) i can access my usb disk, i can see the battery info. yesterday, after i have joined those groups, i did not restart my system. i just exit X, and log off, then log on, and i did not able to access those resources. but today, after a cold start up, all the problems are fixed without touching any configuration. i think this is just a group and permission issue. -- Best Regards, David Shen http://twitter.com/davidshen84/
