Hi Ducrot,

I've got an email that is pending moderator approval because I misbehaved and attached too many things to it, so this may seem slightly out of context. However, I applied the following patches to a 2.4.23 kernel:

latest ACPI patch from acpi.sourceforge.net
DSDT override patch from www.poupinou.org/acpi (slightly modified)
Luming's Embedded Control patch from bugzilla.kernel.org (bug 1744)

Now everything works! The battery gives me state info and charging/discharging rate. The lid correctly reports its state. It all looks hunky-dory.

I had attached the updated patch and my fixed DSDT to my prior email, which is why it is getting hung up. I'll go ahead and attach them to bug 1744, and update with these results, too. Thanks!

Greg
