I can see it= =20 in /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state but it says: # cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state present:=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0yes ERROR: Unable to read battery status I tried to use the sbs-cm patches but they don't apply to my DSDT (actually= ,=20 the DSDT doesn't even compile with the IASL without any patches. :-(). I th= en=20 tried to use the program smartbatt which only needs a small kernel patch=20 (acpi-ec-2.6.10.diff which applies cleanly to my 2.6.11.3) and then tries t= o=20 access the battery using i2c. However there are no i2c busses detected! bash-2.05b# ./smartbattery Error: No i2c-bus specified! Syntax: smartbatt I2CBUS Error: No I2C busses found! Be sure you have done 'modprobe i2c-dev' and also modprobed your i2c bus drivers I did load the modules of course. Does anyone have an idea how I could get = the=20 state of my battery?
