You shouldn't need to do anything special to make it charge from your laptop, assuming you're using a new kernel, unless you're hitting a new bug. Forcing fast charge mode worked around bugs in older kernels, but is now mostly just a dangerous hack for strange/broken hardware setups. I'm charging mine via a laptop usb port as I type this, and didn't force a charging mode. The included 1000ma charger is faster, but the laptop also charges the battery. -Rusty _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
