Re: Re: Smart Battery System driver

OK, it seems like I've drifted toward doing a nightly build of the SBS 
driver -- and tonight is no different! The latest version of the code,

http://shayol.bartol.udel.edu/~rhdt/download/acpi_sbs-20050119.tar.gz

contains some important changes, including:

*) fixed a segmentation fault on module load, experienced by some users 
(thanks to Pedro Venda & Olaf Jansen-Olliges for their "interactive 
debugging")
*) modified the i2c-acpi-ec module, to insert msleeps() after each 
read/write to the embedded controller - this leads to HUGE improvements 
in the responsiveness of the system when the /proc/acpi/* stuff is accessed
*) fixed some typos in the /proc/acpi/* output -- most importantly, the 
battery/BAT0/state file doesn't now report that a battery is discharging 
when it is in fact charging
*) fixed the allowed length of alarm values written into 
/proc/acpi/SBS/SB?/alarm, so that for instance "10000,10000" is now valid

Keep the bug reports coming!

cheers,

Rich
