There are any patch for 2.6.11.x kernels for acpi_sbs driver? I had problems to use it with 2.6.11.2.

Tnx

Not at the moment. I'm still trying to work out a coherent approach to bringing together Control Method and Smart batteries under the same code framework.

In the meantime, I'm planning to release, in the very near future, a version of the sbs-cm DSDT patches that works happily with 2.6.11. Keep an eye on the Sourceforge sbs-linux project page:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/sbs-linux/

cheers,

Rich

hal has recently gained the ability to parse control method battery status. Adding support for smart batteries is trivial. There's no need to unite battery status at the kernel level, especially since we'll need to support apm and pmu batteries as well.

So I should instead be looking to implementing the SBS stuff in the HAL? Sounds good to me. Where's the main site for the HAL work?

http://hal.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fhal is the main site - you want the CVS code, I believe. The mailing list archives ought to have more information on the current code.

Gnome will certainly be moving to using hal for battery status in the next release - I believe that KDE will be moving in that direction post 3.4 as well.
