It is however, as proven by the discussed battery monitors, possible to get some info on the battery status. Supporting the KEYLARGO is no trivial task, first of all, you need to have a iBook or Pismo to experiment with and then get your hands dirty on trial and error kernel modifications. As I don't own a iBook or a Pismo, I cannot experiment with it and experimenting over the net - that is one person writing the testcode and the other testing it on a KEYLARGO based machine - is far to inconvenient and will most probably not work. For what that experimenting is concerned, I believe that in the latest Darwin kernel there is some powermanagement code, which could be analysed. Note that even though you cannot put the machines to sleep, you can have pmud signal init that there is a powerfailure and have it shutdown... -- Stephan ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
