Hi all, I'm trying to get my battery life to work, as well as other power management stuff like auto-shutdown/suspend, etc. I've been searching for a while, and read through http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/acpi-debug.html. I looked for a BIOS update, and there wasn't one on the Asus website for my notebook. I'm running FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE (installed via PCBSD). Output of uname -a : FreeBSD PCBSD.localhost 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Mon May 22 08:46:45 PDT 2006 boot@PCBSD.localhost:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Here's the output from acpconf -i0: Design capacity: 0 mWh Last full capacity: 0 mWh Technology: primary (non-rechargeable) Design voltage: 0 mV Capacity (warn): 0 mWh Capacity (low): 0 mWh Low/warn granularity: 0 mWh Warn/full granularity: 0 mWh Model number: Serial number: Type: OEM info: State: not present Voltage: 12576 mV I've uploaded the file from acpidump, dmesg.boot and the output from compiling iasl to : http://www.jukeware.com/acer_aspire_3620.tar I get these messages all the time (included in the dmesg.boot also): ACPI-0501: *** Error: Handler for [EmbeddedControl] returned AE_NO_HARDWARE_RESPONSE ACPI-1304: *** Error: Method execution failed [\\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_.BAT0._STA] (Node 0xc477c900), AE_NO_HARDWARE_RESPONSE ACPI-0239: *** Error: Method execution failed [\\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_.BAT0._STA] (Node 0xc477c900), AE_NO_HARDWARE_RESPONSE Anyway, it would be great if there was a work-around patch that I could apply to my asl file that could get the battery and power management stuff working, similar to http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-acpi/2005-November/002193.html. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help solve this. Thank very much for your help, Geoff
