present

yeah, I'm seeing this on the t61p as well, but have thus far ignored it amongst the storm of other problems.

No, it's a feature. You've configured in both the legacy and the sysfs interfaces for the battery, and hal is picking up both of them. There's a patch upstream to make hal realise that they're the same device, but the alternative is just to disable one of the options.

Can you point me to the patch, please?

I'm running the current mainline and seeing this as well.

Thanks,
