Hi,
I am running an HP Elitebook 8460p laptop:
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/pscmisc/vac/us/en/sm/notebooks/8460p.html
I am running a fairly updated FreeBSD-10 from sources:
FreeBSD 10.0-BETA2 #2 r257540: Fri Nov 1 21:41:42 PDT 2013
I am running kde 4.10.5 installed with the pkg utility from pkg.freebsd.org:
kde-baseapps-4.10.5_1 Basic applications for KDE
The full KDE desktop starts up and works great. I have no major problems
with it. Thanks!
However, if I reboot and unplug my laptop, I have one annoying problem.
The KDE Battery monitor thinks that I have no battery life left, and
suspends my laptop in 30 seconds.
>From the OS level, everything looks fine. Here is the output
of:
sysctl hw.acpi.battery

I'm not sure, but I think that the KDE battery monitor
is getting confused that the hardware supports having two batteries,
but I only have one battery installed.
I see that Alberto Villa submitted this patch to KDE:
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/110941/
I think this patch is related to my problem and may solve it. Has this
patch
been pushed upstream to KDE, or do we have it in the FreeBSD port?
Thanks.
