I've been looking into ACPI on laptops and have noticed the battery info is usually cached by the BIOS. The battery status/presence won't get updated unless you plug/unplug the power cord if the battery is fully charged. --jordan hargrave Dell Enterprise Linux Engineering -----Original Message----- From: linux-hotplug-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-hotplug-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Curtis Gedak Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 4:24 PM To: Stéphane Guedon Cc: martin.pitt@xxxxxxxxxx; linux-hotplug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: udev and acer batteries Hi Stéphane, Even if your BIOS does not show a setting for batteries, it might still contain controls for your laptop batteries. I have an Acer Aspire One AOA-110-1812 and had to upgrade my BIOS due to a battery charging problem that was fixed by a BIOS upgrade. This is the note regarding the problem for my Acer netbook: http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/12/acer-aspire-one-bios-3309.html Regards, Curtis Gedak Stéphane Guedon wrote: > I have nothing in my bios concerning batteries ! > > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html ��.n��������+%������w��{.n�����{��-�[��)�� jg��� �����ݢj����G���� ���j:+v���w�m������w�������h�����٥
