Hi,
It looks like any programs using the /proc interface are now broken, at
least with the later kernels.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# uname -a
Linux box 2.6.25-2-686 #1 SMP Fri Jul 18 17:46:56 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
Compare:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# acpi -b
Battery 0: Charging, 100%, until charged [1]
with:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# acpi -p -b
No support for device type: battery
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# man acpi
[..]
-p | --proc
use the old /proc interface, default is the new /sys one
I have noticed this behaviour with at least two packages so far:
laptop-detect, and fvwm-crystal.
[1] Doesn't seem like the /sys interface is any easier to parse. :-(

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god
than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other
possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
