Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

On a HP Compaq nc6120 laptop, the battery plugin does not see the ac_adapter
status. It will always report AC connected. Similar issue for thermal_zone.

Attached patch fixes the problem for me (and I hope it is a general solution).

The problem is still present in 0.3.0-r1 (which was unmasked owing to modular X, I suppose).

Done so, see URL.

So... -r2 is out, adding an ac_adapter.patch that has even more "special cases" for the name of the AC adapter directory in /proc. Of course, it still does not work for the HP nc6120 (the directory is called "C172" there).

Now I wonder what is wrong with my more general solution (see attachment) that it was not considered instead?
