[ACPI] Getting battery status on an HP Omnibook XE3-GF

[Nigel a. M. C. <nan...@ya...>]

Hi all.

I've recently purchased a notebook of the above kind, and have Linux 2.4.16
with ACPI patches installed on it.  I get /proc/acpi et al, but get errors
when I try to read the battery status (works fine under XP). I'm wondering
if there are patches I haven't found yet that might update the ACPI support
to get this working? If necessary, I'm happy to send the DSTN and log
messages so you can see what's going on (I would have attached them now, but
the system comes with a winmodem [ES2898] that I can't get 2.5 kernel
linmodem drivers for, so I have to connect under XP).

Regards and thanks in advance,

Nigel
