Dear list, Is there a specific mailing list for POWER SUPPLY CLASS/SUBSYSTEM and DRIVERS? I'm writing a driver for the UPS: http://www.sms.com.br/produtos/Nobreak-SMS/Manager-III-Senoidal The communication protocol between PC and UPS is simple and I did userspace tool for that. https://github.com/petersenna/nobreakSMS/blob/master/userland/nobreakSMS.c Now I'm writing the Linux driver for it. I want to present the UPS as AC+Battery to the user. But when using POWER_SUPPLY_TYPE_UPS (defined at: include/linux/power_supply.h), gnome-power* do not present the UPS to the user even the values being available though /sys. It this a bug for gnome-power*? Or is it expected to not present UPS information to the user as AC+Battery? About the battery type should I make a patch for adding lead acid battery type? This is still very common as battery type for UPS. Anything like: --//-- diff -Nrp a/power_supply.h b/power_supply.h *** a/power_supply.h 2012-05-05 21:57:30.136563463 -0300 --- b/power_supply.h 2012-05-05 21:58:53.293402380 -0300 *************** enum { *** 63,68 **** --- 63,69 ---- POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY_LiFe, POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY_NiCd, POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY_LiMn, + POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY_PbH2SO4, }; enum { --//-- Any idea if the maintainers are accepting drivers for devices like this UPS?
