On my MacBook1,1 (non-pro) I can get the following with the "ondemand" govenor and backlight down to the lowest visible value pommed allows: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info present: yes design capacity: 50200 mWh last full capacity: 46630 mWh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 10950 mV design capacity warning: 250 mWh design capacity low: 100 mWh capacity granularity 1: 10 mWh capacity granularity 2: 10 mWh model number: ASMB013 serial number: battery type: LION013 OEM info: DPON013 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: discharging present rate: 15887 mW remaining capacity: 46540 mWh present voltage: 12268 mV But I suppose one can't compare MacBooks with MacBook Pros.
