I ran "kstat -m battery" on Solaris (on Vbox 1.6 on MacOS) and got the
following output:
module: battery instance: 0
name: battery warning class: misc
crtime 47.413763103
enabled 0
low capacity threshold 0
snaptime 2215.84236619
warn capacity threshold 0
module: battery instance: 0
name: power class: misc
crtime 47.413758137
snaptime 2215.842849596
supported_battery_count 0
system power AC
Is that why "no ACPI power usage estimate available" shows up?
