Package: linux-image-2.6.29-2-686
Version: 2.6.29-5
Severity: wishlist
File: /lib/modules/2.6.29-2-686/kernel/drivers/acpi/battery.ko
The ACPI battery module appears to be built with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER
unset. That leaves it pretty useless. Things like gui battery monitors and
even powertop require this file to report the battery usage.

The information is properly exported in the sysfs:
| $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/{charge_{full,now},voltage_now}
| 5450000
| 5450000
| 8316000
If the tools are not able to use them, it is their bug. No bug in the
kernel.
