s found, even if that is reported as a feature (as it was meant to be but only the MagicTrackpad does) - when upower or someone access /sys/class/power_supply/hid-*/capacity it will probe the device and return it's status. It works great for both devices, but I have two concerns: - the report_features function has a duplicated code - it would be nice if it was possible for specific drivers to provide their own probe as there might be some strange devices... (but maybe it's already possible) I've talked to the upower dev and he fixed it to be able to show the right percentage. Here how the uevent file (in /sys/class/power_supply/hid-*/) looks like: POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=hid-00:22:41:D9:18:E7-battery POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1 POWER_SUPPLY_ONLINE=1 POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=66 POWER_SUPPLY_MODEL_NAME=MacAdmin’s keyboard POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Discharging POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=hid-70:CD:60:F5:FF:3F-battery POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1 POWER_SUPPLY_ONLINE=1 POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=62 POWER_SUPPLY_MODEL_NAME=nexx’s Trackpad POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Discharging Signed-off-by: Daniel Nicoletti YùÛ"’&x
