No. Removal of the battery is not detected via evprint, or lsham -m. > I remember now that you mentioned removing the > battery doesn't generate > events.

I checked the Sony web site, there is an updated BIOS, but its only supposed to improve Vista compatibility and improve security of the fingerprint reader. Nothing about battery indication, which as I said, works fine under Vista. I applied the bios update, as well as one to update the firmware on the cd writer, but it is making no difference to the battery issue. > > In cases where events are not being generated, there > is also a poll that > happens every 30 secs to update the power status. > Does lshal|grep > resent show that the battery is not present after 30 > secs or more? This is the output of that command, a 5-10 minutes after the battery was removed. # lshal | grep resent ac_adapter.present = true (bool) battery.voltage.present = 12282 (0x2ffa) (int) battery.present = true (bool) Any more thoughts ??
