wmbattery They have attempted to use the sysfs api, but apparently that integration was done with an older version of that API. There's also some attempt to get it to work with upower, but I couldn't figure out how to make that work either on my (up-to-date gentoo) box. (TBH I didn't spend more than an hour or two on it, so it may not be impossible.) -ilia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
