I'm having problems with the battery reporting on my laptop. In particular, the LEDs suggest that the battery isn't working at all, but /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state says it's fine. Furthermore, one time when I actually removed the battery entirely, /proc/acpi/.../info said (from memory, may be slightly off): present: yes design capacity: 4000 mAh last full capacity: 4000 mAh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 11100 mV design capacity warning: 420 mAh design capacity low: 156 mAh capacity granularity 1: 264 mAh capacity granularity 2: 3780 mAh model number: PABAS024 serial number: 3658Q battery type: LION OEM info: COMPAL I've also been noticing for a while that the "remaining capacity" updates irregularly and isn't generally current, and it reports the design capacity when the state is "charged", even if discharging it at all indicates that it's actually a lot lower. I've noticed this from 2.6.17 (the first kernel I had on this computer) to 2.6.22, the latest I've tried here. CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG doesn't seem to be showing me anything particularly informative (When I remove or insert the battery, I get: [ACPI Debug] String: [0x12] "=====QUERY_25=====") There seem to be BIOS updates available, but nothing looks related. What information can I collect on this problem? -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
