I am using Fedora's 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.i686 kernel 3) use kernel option ec_burst=1 Now battery monitoring works, and dmesg gives: ---------- ACPI: AC Adapter [ADP1] (on-line) ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT0] (battery present) ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF] ACPI: Lid Switch [LID0] ACPI: Sleep Button (CM) [SLPB] ------------ Sweet as. Thanks to whoever was responsible for making this work, your effort is much appreciated.
