With an external battery, the system thinks it has unlimited power available, and uses it all fast. We need a way to declare "pretend there is no external power".
This is another reason why a bigger internal battery would be better -- the existing conservation features would activate. How about making a really big "internal" battery that would run underneath the whole base of the machine? It could be a 5-cell battery, and it could give 10 hours of operation. It would make external batteries totally unnecessary. _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list gNewSense-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
