Hi, Looking at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/acpi/ , I understand the support for smart batteries isn't yet implemented on FreeBSD.. is there any plan to implement this? I can test patches etc, as I'm sure many other people can too, and this support would be a big plus for us who use our favourite OS on such a laptop. Currently I am unable to check my battery status, and for several times I've let it die because I forgot I was running out of batts. I know a lot of developing power is now centered on 5.4-RELEASE, and when compared to all the code and features that have been improving every day, smart batteries on a laptop seem so unimportant. I can't code myself, or I'd be helping on this and any other issues with FreeBSD. I can, however, apply and test code to get this smart battery support up and running for everyone. If there is a kind developer out there with some free time and willing to implement this.. please let us know Best Regards.
