After update to 1.50, the system reports contradictory state #1

Closed jafd closed 10 years ago

After update to the latest git master (as of today, January 23, 2014), the kext still cannot find and properly show the battery status (reporting overall read timeouts), but the thing that changed is that the OS now thinks it is on battery power.

Can't there be a fallback to assume the system is always on AC if the information can't be read?

(I understand I must first fix the DSDT, but the discussion of that belongs elsewhere, I assume.)

May not be a problem in 1.51. Please try it.

With vanilla DSDT, it reports no battery at all. That is, the icon does not appear. I think the problem is sorts of solved.

If you're saying you have a DSDT unpatched/not working, I'm happy that the kext doesn't crash (I fixed a bug related to a crash with buggy DSDT recently). I'm not going to attempt making a battery icon appear with a broken DSDT. There is no benefit.
