Description Jason Wyatt 2015-04-09 12:49:17 UTC 
SDL is currently trying to read battery information from /proc/acpi/battery. This does not exists on newer setups, with battery information having moved to /sys/class/power_supply/BAT*.

Eventually we'd want to talk to UPower over d-bus (see Bug #2170), but in the interest of older and embedded machines that don't have that interface, and in the interest of having our API working at all in 2.0.4, I've implemented the sysfs stuff in https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/d8cc85e50561
