Yes, the only way a battery can end up in /proc/acpi is if it's supported by the acpi battery driver, which has now been ported to sysfs. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
HAL fix for multiple battaries
So, here is the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/177570 Basically with the .24 kernel there are sysfs and proc interfaces for many batteries making it so that HAL reports two, and thus GPM reports two. There is a link to a patch in upstream HAL that fixes the multiple listing problem. But, what it does is not list ANY proc batteries if a sysfs one is found. Is that correct? Are all battery interfaces migrated to sysfs in .24?
