 Posted: Thu Sep 01, 2005 3:33 am Post subject: Ultrabay Battery not in use |
 |
|
I am running acpi on 2.6.12-suspend2-r6 kernel on an IBM thinkpad T22.
I have an ultrabay battery but it appears as if it is ignored. It always stays charged while the other battery drains down. xfce panel has a battery monitor, but it only shows one battery.
I have ibm-acpi on in the kernel which prevents me from using ibm-acpi and suspend2 prevents laptop-tools
How do I configure/administer the second battery
| Code: |
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
present: yes
capacity state ok
chargeing state charged
present rate 0mW
remaining capacity 39090mWh
present voltage 12436 mv
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
present: yes
capacity state ok
chargeing state charging
present rate 6799 mW
remaining capacity 24920 mWh
present voltage 12522 mv
|
do I have to "mount" the device?
Is there a dual battery monitor?

Hello jshanab....
yes there is a dual battery monitor. I use KThinkBat and i have both batterys in the monitor on my thinkpad a31 with 1.8 Ghz Intel.
For this and other thinkpad stuff i have the following packages installed:
acpi 0.09 testing
acpid 1.0.6-r1 stable
acpitool 0.4.7-r1 stable
bbacpi 0.1.5 stable
configure-thinkpad 0.8 testing
thinkpad 5.9-r1 stable
tp_smapi 0.31 stable - will be install 0.32 testing
tpb 0.6.4 stable
tpctl 4.17 stable
gentoo-sources 2.6.22-r8 - will be updated today
You will find kthinkpad on: https://lepetitfou.dyndns.org/projects/kthinkbat/wiki
For the rset you have thinkwiki: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki
I think thats for the start. Go on ...
BR, Mike
