Fwd: Re: Re: A extra battery is found by kpowersave.

Hi!

Yes, we have already bug reports about this, and I'm already working on filter 
out the proc battery if a sysfs battery is there, so that hal shows the 
battery only once. I have already code that do this, but it needs some deeper 
changes.

On the other side it looks as if the current sysfs interface don't provide the 
same information as the proc interface atm. Have to take a look at the kernel 
for this. Also the handling for the sysfs battery need to get reworked, since 
it doesn't work for me atm.

I send a comlete patch as soon as possible.
