Re: [PATCH] fix APM notify of apmd for on-AC/on-battery transitions

[Cort Dougan]

Can you check to make sure for me?  If you stick a 'wall my power changed $*'
into /etc/apmd_proxy or /etc/sysconfig/apm-scripts/scripts (or where-ever
SuSE puts it) then pull the power from your Vaio what does it give you?  I
can get the 'apm' commant to tell me the power state (same with the gnome
applets) but apmd is never asynchronously notified.

I'm trying to find which versions/models do this so I can properly
characterize the check agains the DMI data.

} But not all Vaio's. My z600 (which is what they sold the z505 series as in .eu)
} for example behaves correctly when I plug in/pull out the power cord
} repeatedly.
} 
} We might be better off special casing 'known bad' models in the
} DMI blacklist instead of assuming carte blanche that all vaio's are bad.
} Might even come down to a specific BIOS version that's at fault.
