 Posted: Thu Apr 08, 2004 1:29 pm Post subject: acpi ac adapter state not updating |
 |
|
If I start my laptop with the ac plugged in, /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC0/state says its in, but when I take it out it still says the adapter is plugged in. Similarly if I bootup on the battery it says theres no ac plugged in, but when I plug it in it still says its running off the battery. How can I get the state to update itself whenever it changes?

I load ac.ko and battery.ko on startup and things are updated perfectly. You're probably doing the same - what kernel version and laptop are you using? Any ACPI related error messages in dmesg? Like broken DSDT or similar?

I have the same problem with my laptop, I'm using vanilla-kernel 2.6.6-rc1. Did you already solve it?

I have the same problem, removing the ac adapter produces both a battery and an ac_adapter event, but nothing happens when I plug the ac cable back in...

bash-2.05b# |
but it doesn't seems to matter if I boot on the battery or not, the only events I get are the once above...
any ideas? |
