Description:
I am running arch on a toshiba satellite. A while ago I updated the kernel using pacman to version 3.9.2-1, and when I rebooted, I noticed that XFCE no longer displayed battery information (only the AC adapter) even when I'm not plugged in to the wall. running 'acpi -v' shows no information about batteries. Prior to the update, the battery was detected without issue. A further upgrade in the kernel (currently I'm running 3.9.4-1) did not see a fix. When I posted about it on the forum, at least two other people seemed to be having the same issue. Additional info: * Kernel version 3.9.2-1 and up appear to be at fault. * There is a forum post with many more details at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=163223 * More information can be provided on request. Steps to reproduce: Buy toshiba satellite. Upgrade kernel. Attempt to look at battery information. |

Please report upstream.
Done
Please link upstream report here.
Oh sorry. I thought you meant "let them deal with it." never done
this before. Anyway here's the link:

By compiling a kernel myself I was able to get battery and "fn"
keys detected after adding some things to the .config file. While
running that custom compiled kernel, I updated to the latest
version of linux in arch's repos. As of now, the arch version
seems to be detecting everything fine.
