Trying again to see if anyone had any other ideas.
In addition:
The acpid daemon is running.
The same machine when booted into windows will automatically go to
powersave mode when the power cable is removed.
what condition is your battery in? It makes sense if battery
power is
very low.
Battery #1 : present
Remaining capacity : 47822 mWh, 100.0%
Design capacity : 50760 mWh
Last full capacity : 47822 mWh, 94.21% of design capacity
(similar output was included in the original post)
Regardless of battery condition should I not still get an event for
removing and reinserting the power cable? (Obviously waiting for a
minute or two in-between )
If battery is still full, then it sounds like a bug. You need to
test
the latest base kernel before entering a acpi bug into
bugzilla.kernel.org.
It works just fine on 2.6.19-r5 (gentoo)
Whilst is *may* have been a bug, the issue should no longer exist
on a
newer kernel.
One interesting though, if I do : modprobe button
then every 30 seconds or so I get:
received event "battery BAT1 00000080 00000001"
Even when i do rmmod button I still keep getting these events.
The only way to go back to "normal" behaviour is to reboot.
Any suggestions as to what might be my problem here ?
I guess your battery power level is low.
Nope, that's not it.
Don't really get your logic either. *Only* when a certain module is
loaded and after that *only* a reboot stops these messages means that
the battery is low?

So, I take it that my choice is limited to using the newer kernel ?
I would normally not hesitate to use the newer kernel but my
employer's vpn client is limited to 2.6.17

2.6.19-rc5 has EC driver almost re-written (drivers/acpi/ec.c). Please
check if putting it into 2.6.17 works/helps. You may also try to put an
2.6.20/21-rc version of the same file... It has even more changes.
Regards,
Alex.
I tried copying all of the directories with "acpi" and a few .h files
as well (from 2.6.19-rc5) . This is what I get:
[skipped]
I asked if copying of single file helps... I didn't ask you to copy all
acpi files two kernel releases back and make it work...
If there is a relatively simple way to get this to work. Let me know.
Copy one file: drivers/acpi/ec.c
Sorry, I should have explained in more detail. I did copy just the one file to start with, and got this :
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/compile.h
CC drivers/acpi/ec.o
drivers/acpi/ec.c: In function 'acpi_ec_gpe_handler':
drivers/acpi/ec.c:467: warning: implicit declaration of function
'acpi_os_execute'
drivers/acpi/ec.c:467: error: 'OSL_EC_BURST_HANDLER' undeclared (first
use in this function)
drivers/acpi/ec.c:467: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported
only once
drivers/acpi/ec.c:467: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[2]: *** [drivers/acpi/ec.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [drivers/acpi] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
Is there something I can do to get this going ?
change call to acpi_os_execute to call to acpi_os_queue_for_execution()
as it was in 2.6.17.
It is just rename of the function in this case.
Otherwise I'll just leave it, and hopefully in a year or so I'll be
able to upgrade.
Ok.
Thanks,
Nigel.
