Hi guys,

 

I have uploaded b8 edition. It will use "_STA" flag to determine if the driver should be loaded or not. (Thanks Turbo for the idea.) If it returns 0xf, which there is no battery in the bay, it won't load the driver. It should work on those notebooks with more than one battery bay. For those who have more than one battery bay in the notebook, you can give it a try and let me know the result. Thanks.

 

(I know it is not the best way to fix the issue. I will keep looking for the solution.)

I re-installed Leo4Allv3, and this time without selecting any kernel. Once the installation finished and booted onto the desktop, I get the Battery Meter automatically. Now I have MacBook as the machine identifier.

 

I guess all is working nicely now. What's the diference if I use yours? Also I don't get any battery info like when I have your AppleACPIBatteryManager installed.

 

Hi extremeae,

 

It seems that you have patched PowerManagement and AppleACPIPowerSource on your machine. However, I don't have Leo4Allv3 installed right now so I cannot be sure what it includes.

Just tested b7 and b8 (you uploaded b8 while I was doing b7 ;) ). Both are working fine and my Dell Inspiron 9300 is showing the battery information correctly (before it didnt display Serial Number, Manufacturer and Device Name). It also seems to be showing charge count and condition but the cycle count is 1 which obviously isn't true.

Hi Dense,

 

Yes, right now cycle count will always show 1 because I haven't found the equation for it yet. :)

 

There are also some values not set correctly, either. Such as:

 

ManufacturerData,

ManufacturerDate,

CellVoltage,

Temperature,

MaxErr,

etc.

 

Those values are included in Smart Battery but not in the Control Method Battery.

Thanks a lot Chun-Nan!

b8 works for my T61 and shows the battery information as well as the power source!

I appreciate your work very much.

B8 works almost perfect on my T60.

The only problem is:

When no battery is in the bay, battery indicator as well as battery option in system preference disappeared. It make sense since the kext is not loaded. But if add the battery during system on, nothing won't happen. A manually kextload of the kext does not help, it will unload automatically several seconds later. Only a reboot with battery on make everything working.

Above is the battery information displayed in winXP, hope it will help you figure out the mechanisms behind other parameters.

Hi;

 

I have just upgraded to 10.5.4 on my X60s, I have the AppleACPIPS2Nub_b3 installed, and as far as I can tell I have the stock AppleACPIplatform.kext (1.1.0) and there is no AppleACPIPowerSource installed in the AppleACPIPlatform.kext, the PowerManagementBundle is version 136.

 

As soon as I use kexthepler to install the AppleACPIBatteryManager everything freezes, if I do a hard reboot I get a kernel panic whilst loading the AppleACPIBatteryManager.kext.

 

Can you let me know the dependancies and versions required to get this working ??

 

Many thanks

 

Pete

Beta 8 works perfect on my Acer Aspire 9525 notebook in Leopard 10.5.4.

Vanilla AppleSMBIOS, AppleACPIPlatform and PowerManagement.bundle. I used AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext and AppleSMBIOSEFI-28.

Correctly displays the proper icon when I am on battery and when I am plugged in.

The full battery information appears in system profiler.

 

The only small problem is that activating powermangement functions still breaks DVD player playback. When playing DVD's I hear sound but I only have a black screen without the picture. That problem has always been around each time powermanagement functions are activated, regardless of the method under which powermanagement functions are activated.

Hi Pete,

 

It should work on any version of AppleACPIPlatform. You can go to [system Profiler] -> [software] -> [Extensions] to see if AppleACPIPowerSource is installed and loaded.

 

If possible, can you post the picture of kernel panic? Thanks.

 

Chun-Nan

 

tried b7 and b8

 

b7 works, its just displaying in sys profiler

 

b8 shows nothing

 

how can i get the battery menu icon working?

have vanilla acpiplatform kext & powermanagement kext with smbios from macdotnub

 

Hi mrheat,

 

If you are using b8, make sure you have the battery in the bay or the driver may not be loaded.

 

Chun-Nan

 

i installed the kext using kexthelper and it seemed to install it fine, but after restart... nothing happens, no info about power source, battery or anything.... any ideas?

 

hi Gunslinger1984,

 

If possible, post your ioreg_sp.txt here if you are using Leopard. Thanks.

Hi jhc8756,

 

If possible, can you post your ioreg_sp.txt? Just go to [system profiler] -> [software] -> [Logs]. You should see ioreg_sp.txt listed there. Thanks.

Hi guys,

 

I have uploaded b9 edition. I added CycleCount caculation and CellVoltages caculation. (need feedbacks).

 

In addition, I added "SMBIOS informaiton" table for MaxErr, SerialNumber, and ManufactureDate. However, the data read from my notebook are not accurate.

I work on totally vanilla 10.5.4 and got kernel panic with b9, b8 working without problems.

 

But i cannot show you the message...

 

Hi djmastera2000 & romanskij,

 

Sorry for the kernel panic. I have removed it from the forum and will try to find why it caused kernel panic. (It ran ok on my machine. I think it probably has something to do with SMBIOS table.) Thanks.
