I couldn't for the life of me get ACPI to work as loadable modules. I would always get unresolved symbols upon trying to load them. I must have rebuilt the kernel from scratch about 10 times, with three different .config files, including one from another list member, but nothing would result in modules that would load! Now to the good news. I now have a full complement of files in /proc/acpi including good battery status information [root@toshiba1115 BAT1]# cat state present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: unknown present rate: 0 mA remaining capacity: 4000 mAh present voltage: 14800 mV [root@toshiba1115 BAT1]# cat info present: yes design capacity: 4000 mAh last full capacity: 4000 mAh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 14800 mV design capacity warning: 420 mAh design capacity low: 156 mAh capacity granularity 1: 264 mAh capacity granularity 2: 3780 mAh model number: PA3209U serial number: 3658Q battery type: Li-Ion OEM info: TOSHIBA Even the Gnome/RH8 battery indicator shows the battery charge level just fine but it can't seem to tell if the AC power cord is plugged in. It always shows it's on battery. I guess that's probably because /proc/acpi/ac_adapter is empty: [root@toshiba1115 acpi]# ls /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ [root@toshiba1115 acpi]# This is definitely an improvement but I'm still wondering why ACPI wouldn't work as a module... -- Greg Gulik http://www.gulik.org/greg/ greg @ gulik.org http://www.drivingevents.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
