missing battery events

/me wonders why my kernel doesn't generate battery events in syslog so that I can hibernate or shutdown the notebook if the battery is low via /etc/acpi/default.sh

The kernel config is here http://bpaste.net/show/78362/
lsmod is here http://bpaste.net/show/78363/

kernel config is missing from the url...

Do you have ACPI battery support enabled in your config? Has it ever worked before?

Actually I don't remember ever seeing battery events, I thought this needs to be polled from capacity remaining by user software and a shutdown/suspend initiated from that... not sure though...

ick , a "," was appended to the URL, and it worked in former times.

Well, I found that I handled such a case by inspecting my /etc/acpi/defaults.sh file. However if might be now many months ago since I last used that functionality. I know that it worked with older kernels (3.6 I think or earlier).
