That would be really interesting. The problem is that the ec-nospinlock patch in that project just works for kernels 2.6.10/11/12 but not for the current 2.6.13 kernel. I already tried to adapt it but i need a lot more knowledge of acpi/kernel hacking to achieve this. To summarize it: The above patch lets you see your smart battery systems but depending on what kernel you are using you will lose interrupts which results in e.g. lost keypresses if the battery is read. If any of the kernel hackers could drop a note what is planned to solve these sbs-related issues it would make some people happy. The patch above is written by Rich Townsend who seem not to continue his project.=20 --=20 Best regards, Fred Thiele GnuPG-Key: 0x4F6BE238 --4zI0WCX1RcnW9Hbu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDVoLpEBTrFk9r4jgRAisMAJ9iYwpfdc7FOhRA+YJ1H3mP6sOXmACdHx4x 4jlYm5WWFO9XV3G0F9LDEFo= =eG3K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --4zI0WCX1RcnW9Hbu-- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl
