And upower needs to be upgraded to handle those :( It sounds like there are a number of things here where newer kernels are breaking older userspace. It's also causing some very end-user visible effects, like having folks' systems auto shut down because upower thinks their batteries are dead. Old versions of upower are obviously confused here. It would be really nice to ensure that newer kernels don't break it like this. IOW, it would be really nice if this were treated like a regression, because it's tantalizingly close. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
