Hello,

I just tried out the new RC on my laptop system, initially neglecting
to enable ACPI_PROCFS support. Thus I was thrust into using the new
sysfs interface for the battery.c driver. ..

Unfortunately the charge values etc do not seem to update periodically
- only (un)plugging the AC power updates the status if ACPI_PROCFS is
disabled.
If ACPI_PROCFS is enabled then a read to /proc/acpi/battery/state gets
the up-to-date data, and a subsequent read to the sysfs equivalents
gives the same results - otherwise sysfs stays stale.

If you need any more info please say so - this is on an ageing Toshiba
Satellite 1110.

Thanks,

Ash
