Subject: Detecting that a battery is inside a dock?
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2015 17:08:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1430320098.2525.105.camel@hadess.net> (raw)
Hey,
I have access to a convertible Toshiba machine where the 2nd battery
is in detachable keyboard. This is the decompiled DSDT:
https://hadess.fedorapeople.org/toshiba.dsl
There's no BAT0, BAT1 is in the screen, and BAT2 is in the keyboard.
BAT2 can be ejected (it has an _EJD method), but the dock code doesn't
see it as having a battery:
$ pwd
/sys/devices/platform/dock.0
$ cat flags
16
$ cat type
dock_station
Any ideas what might be missing here?
I'd eventually like to be able to say that, if I can detect that the
battery is inside the dock, to mark it as such in the UI[1] (even
better would be to say it's "in the keyboard" but I'm not sure we can
easily detect that).
