Title: apm issue
Post by: littlei5 on January 02, 2004, 09:24:21 pm

Happy New Year!!!

I realised that the battery applet is always 100% when it is not connected to the power source. It only reports the battery status \"accurately\" (ie less than 100%) when it is back to the power source. Running apm from the command line gives 100% as well

Anyone knows of a fix? kinda need an accurately battery status to know when to stop playing mp3

(btw me using sl5500, oz3.3.5)

Sharp\'s APM driver only returns a couple of different values,  10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% ( Or some similar combination. And it seems to spend most of it\'s time at 100%. Once work resumes on 2.4.21or 2.6.x, the reporting should improve

But AFAIR, the SD module supplied by Sharp only works with 2.4.18....or did Sharp supply modules for more modern kernels?
