Kpowersave its no refrshing the power status. i have to reboot the powersaved daemon and kpowersave show that the battery has changed, so i think is a powersaved problem not reading the acpi status propelly. Any ideas how to resolv this? Thx -- Patricio Bruna V.

Mine (Compaq lt1720US) reports "Plugged in -- battery is charging -- 997mhz" when plugged in and "Running on batteries -- -1% charged -- 997mhz" when on the battery. Yet the battery will provide 2.5-3 hours of run time. The correct info shows in KDE control center. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

What say "powersave -B" and what say lshal about the battery? Is you acipd and the hal-acpi-addon running (check with 'ps aux | grep acpi'). Danny --------------------- powersave-users@forge.novell.com

This looks really strange. Looks like a broken battery (battery with current level but no last full capacity and no valid battery.charge_level.design). If this is the fact, we can't do anything in KPowersave/powersave/HAL. Could you attach output of 'grep . /proc/acpi/battery/CMB0/* ' one time with and one time without the AC adapter plugged in.

In this case we can't do anything, because there are no info about 'last full capacity' and also no 'design capacity'. Without this infos you can never say how full or empty the battery is. No way. Maybe try a new battery, a BIOS/DSDT update. Danny
