In regard to the question about controlling the charge threshold from Linux: apparently this isn't controlled by some standard means such as an ACPI method, but rather by direct I/O port tweaking done by the Battery MaxiMiser driver for Windows. It would be very hard to figure this out without specs.

maybe it would be possible to use a windows tool like SoftICE to capture the communication required to set the treshholds? as soon as we have some sort of specification adding support for it to the kernel should be rather trivial. --gst
