The /proc/acpi/batter/BAT0 directory exists and the output of cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/* is this:
[jchu@wingnut ~]$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/* alarm: 9055 mAh present: yes design capacity: 7800 mAh last full capacity: 6798 mAh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 11100 mV design capacity warning: 780 mAh design capacity low: 236 mAh capacity granularity 1: 78 mAh capacity granularity 2: 78 mAh model number: DELL YG3106 serial number: 1948 battery type: LION OEM info: SMP present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: charged present rate: 1 mA remaining capacity: 7800 mAh present voltage: 12585 mV
Ok, this blows my theory to dust. I will compile the battery monitor with debug symbols tomorrow and it shouldn't be too hard to figure out what the hell is goin' on. -T
