Hi all. After a a long time I tried ACPI again with -CURRENT as of yesterday. On my HP Omnibook 500 I still have problems using ACPI. The machine works fine, but I have the annoying problem, that I cannot see the battery level (well, mostly).I think this is mainly a problem with the DSDT,it's borken as so often. I have no real clue about ASL and so I was able to change my DSDT in the way that a) I could compile it using iasl and b) I can see the battery level at least when switching from acline to battery or vice versa - but I'm not really able to fix it in terms of "I understand what I'm doing here". Sorry for the mail being very long, but I try to provide as much information as possible here. I'd even be willing to give people interested in debugging this an account on the machine and then have a phone session (to plug/unplug power and change DSDTs or whatever is needed). You'll find the asl files here: original: http://the.addict.de/~ob/hp500.asl changed: http://the.addict.de/~ob/hp500-ob.asl The dmesg output for booting both cases can be found here: original: http://the.addict.de/~ob/dmesg-orig.out changed DSDT: http://the.addict.de/~ob/dmesg-ob.out I have hw.acpi.verbose=1 The details in the behaviour of the machine when booting with the original DSDT: The machine says to have acline, although it's running on battery. I have one battery. The battery is charged somewhat about 50% (I can see this when booting with APM). The battery display gives no values. sysctl hw.acpi says the folloing: hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S1 S3 S4 S5 hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5 hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S3 hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE hw.acpi.standby_state: S1 hw.acpi.suspend_state: S3 hw.acpi.sleep_delay: 0 hw.acpi.s4bios: 1 hw.acpi.verbose: 1 hw.acpi.disable_on_poweroff: 1 hw.acpi.cpu.max_speed: 8 hw.acpi.cpu.current_speed: 8 hw.acpi.cpu.performance_speed: 8 hw.acpi.cpu.economy_speed: 4 hw.acpi.thermal.min_runtime: 0 hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate: 30 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 3162 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.thermal_flags: 0 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._PSV: 3582 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._HOT: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT: 3782 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._ACx: 3432 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 hw.acpi.acline: 1 hw.acpi.battery.life: -1 hw.acpi.battery.time: -1 hw.acpi.battery.state: 7 hw.acpi.battery.units: 3 hw.acpi.battery.info_expire: 5 After 5 Minutes of uptime I see no change.

Still nothing changes automatically over time as the battery gets charged. I can see updated values if I unplug power again, but this time the hw.acpi.battery.time value stays at -1 (charging percentage has changed to 36 meanwhile). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The same thing with the changed DSDT: (13:55) ob_at_gruftie:ttyp0 [~] sysctl hw.acpi hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S1 S3 S4 S5 hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5 hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S3 hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE hw.acpi.standby_state: S1 hw.acpi.suspend_state: S3 hw.acpi.sleep_delay: 0 hw.acpi.s4bios: 1 hw.acpi.verbose: 1 hw.acpi.disable_on_poweroff: 1 hw.acpi.cpu.max_speed: 8 hw.acpi.cpu.current_speed: 4 hw.acpi.cpu.performance_speed: 8 hw.acpi.cpu.economy_speed: 4 hw.acpi.thermal.min_runtime: 0 hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate: 30 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 3102 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.thermal_flags: 0 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._PSV: 3320 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._HOT: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT: 3590 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._ACx: 3260 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 hw.acpi.acline: 0 hw.acpi.battery.life: -1 hw.acpi.battery.time: -1 hw.acpi.battery.state: 7 hw.acpi.battery.units: 3 hw.acpi.battery.info_expire: 5 The machine knows it's on battery.

I cabnot figure out when this works. With APM battery display works fine. In APM mode als also see the messages "system power profile changed to 'economy'", when changing from acline to battery. If you need more information (Kernel Config, file revisions), please let me know.
