I have problems with my Compaq Armada 110 (since 1 year.. urgh). I already fixed the common dsdt-subjects (as on http://www.cpqlinux.com/acpi-howto.html)... but still: my battery status is confusing me. The AC-Adaptor state is read correctly, and the BAT1 is informed. After that "inform" my battery's "remaining capacity" is showed correctly (something a bit lower than "last full capacity"). but one "cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/status" later the value gets either zero (ac plugged in and finished loading) or - on battery power - jumps to 65535 and starts decreasing from there. as it reaches zero, it restarts from 65535... douh. plug-in ac, cat.. -> correct value again for one time. is the request somehow buffered? besides this, i am impressed by how much work has been done in the last year to the acpi-code. keep up the godd work! greetz, FAKE (Thomas Jakobi) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
