Battery not recognized on Samsung T10 XVC 2000

[Dieter Tremel <tremel@tremel-computer.de>]

Hello debian-laptop,

my new notebook Samsung T10 XVC 2000 runs mostly fine with woody, but
with apm I have the problem, that the battery is not recognized as
shown below:

kormoran:~# apm -d
APM BIOS 1.2 (kernel driver 1.16)
AC on-line, no system battery
Using device 0x0a86, 1.16: 1.2
APM Flags =      0x03; AC Line Status = 0x01
Battery Status = 0xff; Battery Flags =  0x80
Battery %age   =   -1; Battery Time   =   -1, use_mins=0

kormoran:~# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.19-686 (herbert@gondolin) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)) #1 Sun Oct 6 18:37:38 EST 2002

What does the output of apm mean in detail?
Has anybody a similar machine running woody?
Any other hint?

Thank You very much

Dieter Tremel
