Not dumb, just tired and too hasty. I had already done a 'lsmod',
but as I could get no relevant information from the /proc/acpi
items I looked in the 'config' and then read the 'm' for an 'n'.
And then blurted a hasty reply. Completely unthinkingly.
For example: 'cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state' shows:
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: unknown
present rate: 0 mA
remaining capacity: 0 mAh
present voltage: 0 mV
whether I am running on batteries or not.
Unless I am too dumb to extract the correct information {^_^}.
