For XO-1.5, "average" is _very_ misleading, because it jumps significantly between idle suspend and running. Which also means usage patterns change the overall power use radically. Modes is a much better statistical tool in this case. This is similar to current generation smartphones -- a battery charge will go a long way in idle, or burn rather fast if you're watching youtube videos or using the gps navigation facilities. hth, m -- [email protected] [email protected] -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
