Description Gernot Hillier 2002-02-09 11:25:13 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           klaptopdaemon
Version:           KDE 2.9.1 
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: with current patch acpi-20020208-2.4.17 from http://sf.net/projects/acpi

I just applied the current patch from http://sf.net/projects/acpi to my kernel 2.4.17

The new ACPI code holds battery info under

/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0

("BAT0" instead of just "0").

I'm not sure if this will also change in 2.4.x-kernels soon but I wanted to mention - perhaps you will change your code to also look for the info in the new dir...

Thx...

current klaptopdaemon HEAD code already has this feature but it's not relea=
sed=20
now. So I think this bug can be closed...

I just run into the same problem. I fund a patch on the web, but this patch
still would not work for me. I have fixed up this patch so that it works now
for me as well.

Subject: Re:  new ACPI code holds battery info under /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0

This was fixed a while back in CVS it will be included in 3.1. 
The problem is actually more complex because the name used by 
ACPI depends on the BIOS in your machine - the simple fix 
floating around the net only fixes it for some people (and 
breaks it for others) - the one in CVS is more complete - Paul
