ACPI_OS_NAME: no battery or no ac_adapter

ACPI_OS_NAME: no battery or no ac_adapter

[Andreas Leppert]

hi,

i've a strange problem on my fujitsu laptop.  If i compile my kernel using acpi, everything works fine, but acpi -V doesn't change the value of ac_adapter info. it's always set to "on-line". it doesnt matter if the ac_adapter is plugged in or not. always "on-line". 

then i found this: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8560832

so i changed the value of ACPI_OS_NAME in my /usr/src/linux/include/acpi/platform/aclinux.h from "Linux" to "Microsoft Windows NT". Now, ac_adapter changes its value from "on-line" to "off-line" if i unplug the ac_adapter. 

But now, acpi -V doesnt show me any battery information. the line is just omitted! so what to do?

under http://andileppert.de/dsdtl.dsl you can find my dsdt. you will see that there are a few _OS commands...  what can i do? this is a strange thing... 

thanks in advance
Andi Leppert

In newer versions of ACPI CA, we have changed ACPI_OS_NAME to "Microsoft Windows NT" for exactly this reason.

RE: ACPI_OS_NAME: no battery or no ac_adapter

[Andreas Leppert]

if i understand you then you have enabled this (Microsoft Windows NT value for the variable ACPI_OS_NAME) in your newest patch. i have installed the patch, ACPI_OS_NAME is now in the include/acpi/acconfig.h. 

ok, ac_adapter events are possible, but why on hell is now /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state -> present rate always unknown (so acpi -V doesnt give me any battery information!) if i change the ACPI_OS_NAME to "Linux", acpi -V gives me information about the battery... but there aren't any ac_adapter events!

where's the problem with this? it has to do something with the ACPI_OS_NAME ... 

perhaps something with my dsdt? really dont know. do you have any answers for this?

thanks again

RE: ACPI_OS_NAME: no battery or no ac_adapter

[Moore, Robert]

It sounds like you are running into a new and different problem with the battery status.
