Hello,

Is there publicly available in the Internet a program description of the ACPI driver 'battery'
in /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20/drivers/acpi/battery.c? Among other things, I am interested to know if there are interferences with drivers sbs, i2c_ec and i2c_core which Ubuntu 7.04 also loaded automatically.

Regards,
Detlef Lechner

Hello,

The ACPI specification is available from
http://www.acpi.info/spec30a.htm . In summary, when queried via /proc, the driver evaluates specific ACPI functions. Battery information is passed back in a defined structure, and the driver formats this information and presents it to the reader.

No.
