No battery information - Compaq Evo N800v, 2.4.20pre8, acpi 20021002

[Mark Pritchard]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with seeing battery status on my Compaq Evo N800v. The 
proc filesystem has plenty of entries for everything other than the battery 
(I've included a list below). 

I'd really appreciate some advice, and I'm more than happy to provide more 
info/test things.

Cheers

Mark Pritchard

I forgot to mention, my dmesg with acpi debugging turned on is available at

Re: No battery information - Compaq Evo N800v, 2.4.20pre8, acpi 20021002

[Alexander Hoogerhuis]

I've had some limited success now with getting things to work on y
Compaq Evo n800c. Currently I'm running on 2.4.20 with the ACPI patch
version 20021212. It does not apply cleanly to my version of 2.4.20,
and I don't have access to the net just now to see if it's my version
of the kernel or if it's the ACPI that is bad. However, its just parts
of the mpparse.c file it complains about and I'm on a UP system.

Basically what I've done is to get the DSDT form my system, disasemble
it with iasl, recompile it with iasl after only fixing the *'es on the
PnP resources, and not altering C11D->BAT1, etc.

The only thing I cannot do is to display the content of
/proc/acpi/battery/C11D/state. What whill happen is that it will
happily show me the content and then the machine will coldly restat
after a few seconds. Doing a "sync; cat /proc/acpi/battery/C11D/*>
blah; sync" left me with this content though:

-- alarm:
alarm:                   unsupported

-- info:
present:                 yes

serial number:           30 30 32 36 00 00 00 00
battery type:            4E4F494C
OEM info:                 COMPAQ

present rate:            1400 mA
remaining capacity:      1913 mAh
present voltage:         16012 mV

And it's been a long time since I've had much physics, but the design
capacity doesn't seem right to me. I'm able to run about 13-14 mins on
battery, before the machine dies, from a fully charged battery.

After rebooting, this is what the entries said:

-- alarm:

remaining capacity:      724 mAh
present voltage:         16690 mV

It's also interesting to note taht with the new DSDT I chopped
together myself, the LED indicating it's time to get plugged into an
AC adapter or loose work, does not work anymore.

Currently my bootlog gives me this:

For what it's worth, at least I've made some progress, and my machine
seems to at least know when to throttle up and down from the C-states:

    C3:                  promotion[--] demotion[C2] latency[085] usage[00000148]

If anyone have pointers on how to take this further, please let us
know? :)

2Ah seems quite low, but as you have 15V 
battery its 30Wh, which might be okay for
*small* notebook.

Perhaps your battery is too old these days?

Evo n800c is not a *small* notebook, its a pretty beefy thing and the
biggest beast Compaq could conjure up this summer :) P4-1.7GHz, 768Mb
RAM and a 30Gb disk and a nice ATI Radeon 7500 to boot :)

Not even six months, and not many cycles as its used mainly as a
portable desktop.

Re: No battery information - Compaq Evo N800v, 2.4.20pre8, acpi 20021002

[Bob Lees]

Alexander

On my 800c running 2.4.19 SUSE 8.1 with 0918 patch and my modified DSDT I get 
the following:

present:                 yes
design capacity:         4114 mAh
last full capacity:      4114 mAh
battery technology:      rechargeable
design voltage:          14800 mV
design capacity warning: 411 mAh
design capacity low:     0 mAh
capacity granularity 1:  100 mAh
capacity granularity 2:  100 mAh
model number:            Primary
serial number:           3
battery type:            4E4F494C
OEM info:                 COMPAQ

with AC plugged in a full battery

present:                 yes
capacity state:          ok
charging state:          unknown
present rate:            0 mA
remaining capacity:      4114 mAh
present voltage:         16633 mV

with AC removed and a near full battery

present:                 yes
capacity state:          ok
charging state:          discharging
present rate:            1105 mA
remaining capacity:      4074 mAh
present voltage:         16227 mV

I get 3+ hours out of a full battery.

I use my laptop similar to you as a portable desk machine, ie it spends most 
of its time plugged into AC.

I also have klaptopdaemon working, edited the current acpi proc tree into 
portable.cpp in the source.

I have not gone down the 2.4.20 route, but will have to shortly as I need the 
updated usb support.  I was waiting until it appeared stable, but I guess i 
will have to bit the bullet and try it.  Since working through the various 
issues a while back I have a stable acpi install.  About the only area I 
don't have working is the speedstep switching from P0 to P1; it always 
reports P0.

I concur, beefy is a good description, but a lot less weight than a number of 
the alternatives, and you forgot the 1600x1200 screen - very nice;)

Hope this helps

Bob

1400x1150 or something like that :) Good enough for its intented
purpose: Ghost Recon and Fly!II :)

Re: No battery information - Compaq Evo N800v, 2.4.20pre8, acpi 20021002

[Kevin Schmidt]

I have a Compaq evo n1000v which is very similar (the dsdt says n800).
I am running 2.4.19+xfs+acpi-20020918 with a patched dsdt.
The dsdt changes were:
1. Deleted the leading from variables flagged by errors as suggested
in other messages to this list.
2. Added External definitions for variables not found
and commented out the Alias line that caused a compiler error. This
allowed the dsdt to compile with some warnings about missing return
types. I tried adding zero returns to those, and the warnings went away
but I could not detect any change in the way the machine ran.

After the dsdt changes, the ac_adapter was detected properly and it detects
when it is plugged in or removed. The lid switch and the
power button give events and I see /proc/battery, but the battery is
not detected. There are still a couple of errors in dmesg from the
dsdt.

I know next to nothing about what this really does, so use this at
your own risk. It does appear that the problems are dsdt related.
