Description Florent CHANTRET 2005-08-28 15:35:51 UTC 
Hi,

I've tried KPowerSave.

It works perfectly when I plug or unplug the AC adaptater. The icon is very
responsive. The battery level is correctly displayed.

Minors bugs are :

- When I unplug the AC adaptater, the icon tell me there is about 12 or 13 hours
remaining (quite nice for a Centrino ;o)). The icon is correcly updated to about
2 hours and a half remaining after about 10 or 20 seconds. It is the same in
SuSE 9.3 I think

- The tooltip doesn't give the CPU frequency as it was the case on SuSE 9.3

Fixed for Beta 4

I think this can happen while calculate the time. Please attach output of 'cat /
proc/acpi/battery/*/*' directly after unplug the adapter.

Your battery/bios reports a really low present rate. As you say only in the 
first time. This is a hardware/bios problem. Other machines say "unknown" since 
they know well values. Powersave/KPowersave can't know anything about this.

If you now calculate the time 59200 mWh/4440 mW you get 13,3 hours ;)

Thanks for the information, I close the bug now
