HAL badly evaluate battery status
Last modified: 2013-03-05 22:48:25 EST
Description of problem: HAL 0.5.8.1-5.fc6 badly evaluate the battery status in Acer Aspire 3003LMi. In the newer it was fixed, I've heard. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354757#c9 (ACPID info about battery is correct) You can see how gnome-power-manager, which has an info from hal, works here: http://picasaweb.google.com/wojtekjs/
I've explored the problem a bit and found that it's a problem with a low voltage (1 mV when bettery is used, 2 mV when charged), which is reported by battery. It looks like HAL uses this voltage to count battery.charge_level.current.
