Hi Stefan:
I just glance wmbattery code. I find the code in the acpi.c is already
using the new sysfs battery interfaces, right?

...

#define SYSFS_PATH "/sys/class/power_supply"

...
char *acpi_labels[] = {
"uevent",
"status",
"BAT",
"AC",
"POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=",
"POWER_SUPPLY_??????_FULL_DESIGN=", /* CHARGE or ENERGY */
"POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=",
"POWER_SUPPLY_??????_NOW=",
"POWER_SUPPLY_CURRENT_NOW=",
"POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=",
#if ACPI_THERMAL
"thermal_zone",
#endif
"POWER_SUPPLY_ONLINE=",
"POWER_SUPPLY_??????_FULL=",
NULL
};
