I get 3-5 with the high capacity battery. Heavy disk activity or graphics will drop it to half that though. The battery monitor from frkit works great. > i hope i can get rid of the banding that i'm seeing ... Did you try the accelerated NVidia drivers? The "nv" Xorg drivers are hit-or-miss, I have better luck with "vesa" on Intel (though accelerated Intel drivers are coming Very Soon Now...) http://www.nvidia.com/object/solaris_display_1.0-8774.html I'm using that driver on two systems with Quadro NVS280 cards and also on the laptop with the GeForce Go 7400. All three work great, the only hacking I had to do was to enable TwinView on my dual head desktop. The native resolution is automatically detected on all systems. - Eric
