I suggest you write a > new driver for the SMBus host. i'm sorry, could you clear that up? from what i read in the acpi specification, the EC host bridges the communications between the smart battery subsystems and itself, so i thought it should be enough to communicate with the EC host. anyway, i still can't get information from the _EC object (i'm sorry if it isn't an object. i haven't read the whole specification) so i can't get the information from the HID either. what do you mean "a new driver for the SMBus host"? ducrot's driver is an smbus driver for the ec host... i'm sorry for all the questions, but one has to learn/ask who knows. regards, pedro venda. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
