Ok. But must of them are quite old. Mine only appeared after kernel 1426
which I think is post 2.6.13-rc2. I don't know how to search for changes
in the kernel source. I'm not familiar with git. I search the kernel
changelog but I can't find anything about the battery module.
If you need more information, just let me know.

rc5-git3 solved the problem. The 1451 version from rawhide fixed it.
Thanks for the help
Bart
