Great, great work! Really! This completely rocks. I just stopped my battery from charging at 77% and restarted charging a bit later, no problems whatsoever. BTW, this is on kernel 2.6.14.3.

None of the fuctions is working on my T40, kernel 2.6.14-mm2.

Works for me on a T41 running 2.6.12-10-686 (Ubuntu 5.10).

Including stop_charge_thresh? That one seems to be missing on the T42p.

tp_smapi works just fine on an R52 with Ubuntu Breezy stock kernel.

''To set the thresholds for starting and stopping battery charging (in percent of current capacity):''
 
 
'''current''' really? That'd be weird, I'd expect it to be percent of '''total''' capacity.
 
 
--[[User:Micampe|Micampe]] 14:39, 7 Dec 2005 (CET)
 
 
"Current full charge capacity", as opposed to "current remaining capacity" or "designed full charge capacity"...

Battery features don't work with my T41p. I can't check this with windows. Can anybody try these features?

Nils, does cdrom_speed work for you on the T41p? Could you provide the details requested in the README (dmesg etc.)?

CDRom Speed seems to work. (I see no warnings, but I have to do a speed test.) Now, I've send all outputs to the email-address in the readme.

==Changing the CD speed when the CD is being accessed will hang your computer==
 
 
I don't have this problem on my T40p. CDROM is mounted and file on CD is opened. Change speed do '''not''' hang my system.

An open file looks fine if you're not reading/writing at that point. But my T43 does hangs on this:
 
# dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/dev/null &
 
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/cdrom_speed

OK, sorry. I was to fast. My system hangs on this commands, too. :(

Works well. Great.

cdrom_speed works on my T40.

== "thinkpad" module kernel compatibility ==
 
 
Ajunge, how do you compile the "thinkpad" module compile on kernel >=2.6.9? The latest thinkpad version (5.8) still uses "get_cpu_ptr" and "set_cpu_ptr", which were removed in 2.6.9.

== Feature support matrix ==
 
I think it would be a good idea to reflect the supported fetures on each machine in a matrix. The listing is really complex.

Something like that:
 
 
{| border="1" cellpadding="2"
 
|+Feature support matrix
 
|-
 
! × !! start_charge_thresh !! stop_charge_thresh !!  inhbit_charge_minutes !! cdrom_speed !! battery status

Good idea. Care to help converting the current data? While at it, we need a new "battery status" column for the new features in tp_smapi 0.09.

Should we have a "Kernel version" column too?
