Your hope is to use acpiconf(8) i.e acpiconf -i <battery number>. Unfortunately, acpiconf itself does not display all possible values. Try this patch against usr.sbin/acpi/acpiconf/acpiconf.c http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/acpi/acpiconf.c.diff Hopefully you will have the proper output in terms of percentage. You won't have advance battery status such as remaining time and few others. This is a limitation for BIOSes without _BST. I believe Nate Lawson is the right person to comment on this. -- Ariff Abdullah FreeBSD --Signature=_Thu__5_Jan_2006_00_54_41_+0800_x7.9sabrhOeUmjCa Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFDu/3Ulr+deMUwTNoRAvt6AKCw1i6PO/2XDUFG+H7ThfP+Y4wMfwCg0yTz n+ZsS3t+xbZlSm8K/Ps0slg= =KiTK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Thu__5_Jan_2006_00_54_41_+0800_x7.9sabrhOeUmjCa--
