except it doesn't recoginze my batteries:
$ acpi -s
Battery 1: slot empty
Battery 2: slot empty
$ grep present /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info
present: yes
$ grep present /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
present: yes
Well, not quite accurate: when i unplug my AC the battery is recognized.
Battery 2: discharging, 100%, 02:17:58 remaining
But there is a big difference: as acpi ist not querying every second it
doesn't need to care about avoiding unnecessary polling of "info".
Gruss,
