i've successfully tested this on i386 (5 years old msi wind U100
netbook) and amd64 (x200s), with sensors and the upower patch, and i
think this provides valuable information on the device status. Mike,
Mark, can you have a look at it ? I'd okay this but that's not my area.
amd64:
hw.sensors.acpibtn0.indicator0=On (lid open)
hw.sensors.acpibat0.power0=19.28 W (rate)
hw.sensors.acpibat0.watthour0=64.07 Wh (last full capacity)
hw.sensors.acpibat0.watthour1=3.20 Wh (warning capacity)
hw.sensors.acpibat0.watthour2=0.20 Wh (low capacity)
hw.sensors.acpibat0.watthour3=59.04 Wh (remaining capacity), OK
hw.sensors.acpibat0.watthour4=84.24 Wh (capacity)
hw.sensors.acpibat0.raw0=2 (battery charging), OK
hw.sensors.acpiac0.indicator0=On (power supply)
(upower -d)
