| − | Great, great work! Really! This completely rocks. I just stopped my battery from charging at 77% and restarted charging a bit later, no problems whatsoever. BTW, this is on kernel 2.6.14.3.

Can you send me a log of what you did, what was the result a what was the dmesg output for each operation?

| |
| − | Deleted the tp_smapi.c file at the end, out of obvious reasons, and I'm not sure about the placement in the ACPI section, OTOH there it would be found easily next to ibm_acpi.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Providing a patch would help when recompiling the kernel often, I hate recompiling external modules every time (even got me a kernel-upgrade script to do most of it automatically). But of course it's up to you. :)

| |
| − |
| |
| − | I'll be glad to add this, but I don't want to go through additional manual steps in the release process (there are already quite a few). Can you add a "make patch" functionality to the Makefile, or something of the sort, to automatically generate a full patch (including tp_smapi.c) against current kernel sources?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Also, this shouldn't be under drivers/acpi, since it doesn't use ACPI at all (that's why I didn't make it a patch to ibm_acpi). I think the right place is drivers/firmware, like the dell_rbu driver for Dell laptops.
| |

| |
| − | BTW, the convention for kernel patches is to start them once level higher:

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Of course it's from the wrong level, as usual I was just lazy/inattentive. And at one point I'll remember who likes what patch format, promise. ;)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A patch target as in "create a new file holding a correct diff to current kernel source" would be rather difficult, since line numbers might change etc., but applying the patch should be straighforward with a bit of sed. Of course I could just do that, create a patch with the diff command and then apply the new patch file in reverse. ;)

| |
| − | So it seems force_discharge1 is not supported at all. But force_discharge2? By the way, i think wiki is a _very_ good idea for collecting information, but not for discussion. I would prefer a maillinglist. We can use sourceforge.
