Hello, I don't know wether it is the right place to post this; i first tried freebsd-acpi, but didn't get any response: maybe I did something wrong... Well: I'm was running FreeBSD 5.4 on my laptop without any main problem related to acpi. But since I upgraded to 6 - Stable, I miss the battery life status, which is very annoying... Since it worked on 5.4, it might not be an ASL problem (anyway: it tried acpidump & ald *.dump and only got 2 minor errors). Does someone experience a similar problem ? Related to the battery: the handbook provided by the vendor describes the battery as a smart batt, although demsg shows battery0: <ACPI Control Method Battery>. Is it possible to force the load of sm_batt ? Secondly: i'm getting a wrong acpi-line status every time I'm rebooting. After unplugging the ac adapter, and reconnecting it, everything seems to work fine. Perhaps the adapter is not ready when it's first beeing tested ? Is there any way to force a new status-init a bit later ? Any help or comments woudl be greatly appreciated. I find it to stupid to leave FreeBSD because of a batt problem; so I ready to read-and-do everything's neccessary to get it working again. If required, I can post system log or acpi messages. Thanks for help, Felix
