I suppose we could try running the `apm' program to determine this. If the machine is not a laptop, it usually won't be installed. Is there any better way? and now we also have power-control on servers, not to prolong battery time but to reduce heat. That's a less pressing issue; stealth fontification at a suitable low level, such as we get with Eli's settings, might well be desirable anyway on such a server.
