acpi_sbs with kernel 2.6.11

acpi_sbs with kernel 2.6.11

[Antoni Villalonga]

There are any patch for 2.6.11.x kernels for acpi_sbs driver? I had
problems to use it with 2.6.11.2.

Tnx

Not at the moment. I'm still trying to work out a coherent approach to 
bringing together Control Method and Smart batteries under the same code 
framework.

In the meantime, I'm planning to release, in the very near future, a 
version of the sbs-cm DSDT patches that works happily with 2.6.11. Keep 
an eye on the Sourceforge sbs-linux project page:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/sbs-linux/

cheers,

Rich

hal has recently gained the ability to parse control method battery
status. Adding support for smart batteries is trivial. There's no need
to unite battery status at the kernel level, especially since we'll need
to support apm and pmu batteries as well.

So I should instead be looking to implementing the SBS stuff in the HAL? 
Sounds good to me. Where's the main site for the HAL work?

cheers,

http://hal.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fhal is the main site - you
want the CVS code, I believe. The mailing list archives ought to have
more information on the current code.

Gnome will certainly be moving to using hal for battery status in the
next release - I believe that KDE will be moving in that direction post
3.4 as well.
