Lenovo 3000 N100: no battery rate

Lenovo 3000 N100: no battery rate

[Richard Hughes]

Hey,

My new Lenovo 3000 N100 works great with ACPI Linux of the box -- with
one exception.

"cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state" *always* reports "present rate: 0
mA" - which means I get no rate information for gnome-power-manager, and
hence no graphs or data on the power usage.

As the author of gnome-power-manager this is a bad thing :-)

I've checked out my DSDT with iasl and there are no reported problems.
I'm also running 2.6.18 and using the latest (1.02 bios) I don't know
where or how to start debugging this so I'm asking for advice.

Thanks guys,

Richard Hughes

Please open bug at bugzilla.kernel.org against ACPI/battery and attach output from acpidump to it.

Thanks,
