If battery gadget didn't try to average percentages, it would ignore both usb and apm batteries and calculate the right value. So hal has oddities that can be considered bugs for sure but otoh in my opinion battery gadget needs fixing as well (and after fixing that hal's oddities would become irrelevant). -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercer...@gmail.com ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Am Mo 25. Mai 2009 schrieb The Digital Pioneer: Hey, after this latest bout of upgrades in SHR-Unstable, the battery applet up at the top is broken. It says I have a 32% charge with an estimated time remaining of 13 hours and 28 minutes. That's wrong, and if I look in the power section of SHR settings, it says I have 96% remaining with about 4 hours left. That sounds a whole lot more likely. I've rebooted several times and run depmod -a and ldconfig, just stabbing in the dark, but neither had an effect. check [illume-wrench]-[advanced]-[battery meter]-[advanced]-[hardware] (x)auto-detect (_)internal (_)HAL try internal.
