Hello,

	I've took some days working on my ACPI battery support for a
Compaq 1700T, I finally figured out a way to get it working (built my
own DSDT) and also sent to sourceforge ACPI dsdt database.

	But there is something I've been trying to do:

	All softwares I tried show my battery status as none or
incorrectly
	The ones that show as none I figured out they are made for APM
	The ones that show incorrectly I'm pretty sure they are intended
for acpi

	The GNOME 2.2 tray battery, wont work
	Gkrellm acpi support shows battery at 46% when it's full
	The kde panel ACPI support show the time but not the battery %
(this is odd)
	and window maker acpi applet shows nothing.

	acpi -b (wont list nothing)

	my /proc/acpi/battery/CMB0/state is:

	
maddog@puppy:/proc/acpi/battery/CMB0$ cat state
present:                 yes
capacity state:          ok
charging state:          discharging
present rate:            1534 mW
remaining capacity:      2295 mWh
present voltage:         15515 mV
maddog@puppy:/proc/acpi/battery/CMB0$


maddog@puppy:/proc/acpi/battery/CMB0$ cat info
present:                 yes
design capacity:         unknown
last full capacity:      unknown
battery technology:      rechargeable
design voltage:          unknown
design capacity warning: 800 mWh
design capacity low:     16 mWh
capacity granularity 1:  100 mWh
capacity granularity 2:  100 mWh
model number:            BAT1
serial number:           0000
battery type:            LION
OEM info:                COMPAQ
maddog@puppy:/proc/acpi/battery/CMB0$

	What could I do ? Is there any software I could use ? I tried
OSPMD once, but it was with a huge font I couldent even try to use.

Thanks

Fernando Jr
