And notebooks are usually not good place for running -CURRENT ;-). The things I need most is battery status reporting and fan control using ACPI. Suspending would be convenient but I think is is much more complex since it involves a lot of different drivers to work in ACPI compliant way. The other way I tried was using acpicatools on 4.4. I found device BAT0 which is correctly reported as Li-ION but I don't know how to get it's status (specificaly current battery capacity in percents). Is it possible to get it using these tools without having 5-CURRENT? Thanks, Petr ================================================================ Petr Holub CESNET z.s.p.o.
