Hi,
Have a specialised weatherproof laptop with a smartbattery running FC6
latest kernel. I cannot get battey monitoring going. Have loaded
modules i2c_ec and sbs with out any errors.
log/messages indicate that the EC driver loads with
ACPI: EC HC smbus [SMB1]
There is nothing from the sbs module though it is loaded and
the /proc/acpi/battery directory is empty.
The smartbattery can be recognized. If I run the following command ...
smartbattery 1 (1 is to specify the i2c dev,
needs i2c-dev module loaded)
then I get battery status, which behaves properly (changes if I unplug
AC etc). It shows Battery name, status , charge or discharge current,
time to full/left, temperature etc. The smartbattery command came
with the initial code exploring the ec-smbus interface a couple of
years ago by Bruno Ducrot.
However nothing shows up in the proc/acpi/battery directory under the
sbs module, and therefore the gui battery indicators do not work
Any suggestions?
Love to get this working in the gui.
John
