Subject: [gentoo-user] no battery state/info in minimal-x86-install-20090526.iso?
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2009 20:43:18 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a0811460906011943t3111b5b1xd0de8141578c8724@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi group,

Just booted into the latest iso on my netbook and first I wanted to
check the battery state:

#cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state.

No such file. Looked all over /proc/acpi/. Nothing in /var/log/messages.

So I do #modprobe battery but that doesn't do it.

This is an Asus product, so I do #modprobe asus_acpi and get:
FATAL: Error inserting asus_acpi
(/lib/modules/2.6.28-gentoo-r5/kernel/drivers/acpi/asus_acpi.ko): No
such device.

Is there a new way to find out how much charge is left on the battery,
the rate of charge etc?
The charge light is starting to flash so something must be checking it.


Maxim
