surely there might be a mistake in how data are parsed, but remember that the "remaining time" is computed based on remaining capacity and recent average current. So, if for any reason (cpu/disk/network load decreases, screensaver, etc.) the current decreases, the reported time goes up. It happens all the time with 'acpiconf -i batt' even on 7.x. cheers luigi _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
