OK, Will, Since I don't know how often you monitor the list, I'm sending a copy to you personally to be sure it gets there quickly. The thread started back in September or October when I commented (I believe during a different thread) that my kpowersave showed strange values for time and % remaining -- things like 17 hours remaining, or a few seconds, with the icon showing nearly full. After some list discussion about configuration, and whether the battery manager was sending the correct information to kpowersavemanager, and my resistance to confronting hp about the problem (xp shows reasonable values), Hans Petter suggested I try gnome-power-manager to see what it said. gpm works fine, gives reasonable values (like xp), and shows a nice history of battery voltage and such. I don't know what I could say in a bug report, though, I guess I could resurrect kpowersave and write down some values, but I have no idea how to get to any original values from the battery controller. Does kpowermanager keep a log as gnome pm apparently does? How might I get to either or both? jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
