Sorry, I thought you were already aware of the new tree. Note the uevent stuff I added recently -- feedback on that would be welcome. I'm about to actually hook it up and make it trigger when AC is applied/removed and when there's a 1% change in the battery charge percentage. > Okay, apologies if I've got stroppy prematurely.

It might be only for the 'APM emulation' used on other platforms, not real APM where you call into the APM BIOS. > > > * Why is the AC adapter exported as a battery of type ac?

I'm not completely convinced (are there any ac adapters that report > temperature current or voltage?) I don't have any. They certainly exist in high-end machines though. And even when they _don't_ have the temp/current/voltage measurements, they're _still_ just another power supply, with fewer of the optional extra properties. Having an entirely separate 'class' of devices just for them is a lot of duplication for no real reason. > but I'll give the cbou tree a go and see how it works. If you actually have an XO to test on, then use the one from ~dwmw2/battery2-2.6 instead -- it solves an EC locking issue. And I'll be putting the one with updated EC access there soon too. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
