I just upgraded mi kernel (2.4.18) with the latest acpi patch (20020725). This 
version lets me to read /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info without blocking the 
keyboard, but introduces a new problem: the informations about battery 
capacity are wrong. This version tells me that my battery has:
design capacity:         5 mWh
last full capacity:      5 mWh
The older versions and the state (when the battery is fully charged) file tell 
me that my battery has:
design capacity:	44400 mWh
last full capacity:	44400 mWh

Wrong battery info

[Jacques GANGLOFF]

Hi,

I tried the latest acpi patch with a 2.4.18 kernel on a VAIO
FX 702. I runs quite smoothly but I have a little problem that
prevents akpi (battery monitor) to work properly.


The result of cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info is :

present:                 yes
design capacity:         5 mWh
last full capacity:      5 mWh
battery technology:      rechargeable
design voltage:          14800 mV
design capacity warning: 400 mWh
design capacity low:     384 mWh
capacity granularity 1:  64 mWh
capacity granularity 2:  64 mWh
model number:            BAT1
serial number:
battery type:
OEM info:

I suppose that the design capacity and the last full capacity
are wrong, like the model number, serial number, battery type and OEM
info.

I would like to dig into this problem, but I need some hints since
I am completely newbie with acpi.

Thanks for your help.
Jacques
