Apart from the list/source-changes archives, you may want to take a look at several articles at undeadly.org regarding ACPI. > but there is no 'sensors' sub under 'hw'.

The sysctl output should show you which sensor it uses. > Is there any way to get the battery-values?

You should really try a -current snapshot to see whether ACPI support will work for you. Cheers, Rogier -- If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there.
