While it is true in the abstract sense that a battery is a form of power supply, in common usage the name "power supply" usually refers to mains-powered devices. So it seems to me that the connotation problem still exists, albeit in reverse. The name "power source" doesn't have baggage in either direction. > capacity: 91 > capacity_level: Full > current_avg: 130 > health: Good > present: 1 > status: Full > technology: Unknown > temp: 2239 > temp_ambient: 5000 > type: Battery > voltage_avg: 6979620 > > ... and this... > > UDEV [1136267947.825844] change > /devices/platform/olpc-battery.0/power_supply/olpc-battery (power_supply) > UDEV_LOG=3 > ACTION=change > DEVPATH=/devices/platform/olpc-battery.0/power_supply/olpc-battery > SUBSYSTEM=power_supply > SEQNUM=694 > POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=olpc-battery > POWER_SUPPLY_TYPE=Battery > POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Full > POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1 > POWER_SUPPLY_HEALTH=Good > POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY=Unknown > POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_AVG=6982060 > POWER_SUPPLY_CURRENT_AVG=0 > POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=91 > POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL=Full > POWER_SUPPLY_TEMP=2237 > POWER_SUPPLY_TEMP_AMBIENT=5000 > UDEVD_EVENT=1 > > >> Is there any chance you can stick the code into a new kernel rpm for me >> pls? >> > > Soon, when I have it working properly... :) > > _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
