--- Comment #10 from Andres Cimmarusti <acimmaru...@gmail.com> 2011-04-28 04:08:50 --- I have tested many kernels (logs attached): gnome power manager estimates time remaining on battery correctly for kernels 2.6.27 and 2.6.28, but starts to fail with 2.6.29. I could not see any difference in the output of the commands you asked between the many kernels, but perhaps I overlooked it. Especially, all kernels reported a value of "0 mA" for discharge rate and field "power_now" does not show up. This is leading me to believe the problem is in upower (g-p-m transitioned from HAL to upower around gnome 2.26 and kernel 2.6.29 - both in Fedora 11). I think HAL had some workarounds for batteries that don't display rates properly...and some of them have yet to be done for upower. In upower's git tree I found the following rather recent commit: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/upower/commit/?id=95ecdb25b26c0f28c43be1f84083c75d90840fa9 Could this be the answer? or should the kernel report my rates and it's misbehaving (even when I thought it was working alright?
