Hallo Marcus, (perhaps you remember me:-) I have a SONY-VAIO FX505, is the 'keybord-look-bug' fixed? (I still run an half-year-old ACPI) In my opinion the info-file need only to be read ONCE, because it contains only 'static' infos about the battery. My skills are not high enough to help you withe the bug, but I would like to invite you to test (use, help me to improve) heatload, which is a small applet, showing information about the battery (and something more).
