I usually never run battstat programs since this > laptop is almost always plugged in. Even rtprio doesn't help anything. it is anything sound related at all. I looked at making patches that replace the ioctl call to APMIO_GETINFO with a call to APMIO_GETPWSTATUS Looking at /usr/src/sys/i386/apm/apm.c, bios calls are made for GETPWSTATUS as well, and the music skips when i make the call. i'm rather naive here - is there another way i can query the hardware in freebsd-stable to get the battery status? am I correct in assuming that ACPI in -current is a better option?
