And please ask him what does Asus Linux report about the battery status. If I'm right, Asus Linux should report the battery % remaining only, just like windows, as it can not predict how much battery life left. > Windows XP report "battery % remaing", nothing else. > we can also report a correct battery % remaining in Linux, if we can workaroudn the "last full capacity" == 100mAh issue. > Meanwhile: the problem under ubuntu is not "battery remaining life", but the > fact that "last full capacity" == 100mAh triggers a message that the battery > is > broken and needs to be replaced. > right, this is the problem that should be fixed by ubuntu, and maybe other distributions as well. > It is quite a download, but if you want I can download the asus sources, if yu > can tell me which file you need. > No, you don't need to download the source. It's probably workaround in user space. Let's see what Asus Linux reports first. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
