OK, I have done further investigation on this and got some information from the
manufacturer about the Windows battery utility:

This led me on a merry chase through lm-sensors land, where I found that the
"sensors-detect" program reports:
Driver 'smartbatt' (should be inserted)
Detects correctly:
* Bus 'CS5536 ACB0'
Busdriver `UNKNOWN', I2C address 0x0b
Chip `Smart Battery' (confidence: 5)
OK, that looks pretty good so far. But I try to track down the smart battery
driver and find that it is no longer in I2C, but is back in ACPI!
I have enabled the 'Smart Battery' driver in ACPI but still no battery
reported.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill Gribble
