Thanks, I'll give it a shot later today!

About this:
        /* XXX: are these all valid for smart batteries? */
        if (out) {
                printf(" flags: %x", buf[1]);
                if (buf[2] & PMU_PWR_AC_PRESENT)
                        printf(" AC");

I'm not sure if any non-battery related bits ( like AC power ) are  
valid with smart batteries, I'll check if it works here and if if  
works for both of us there should be a good chance it works for  
others as well.

have fun
Michael
