Today I was using the laptop unplugged and since having recently upgraded to 10.2 am having to to use kpowersave in order to suspend. While on the battery, I did notice that both batteries were shown, but as it was discharging kpowersave it looked like was only paying attention to the battery that was draining. This laptop will drain the travel batter before the primary one. So, if I had left the laptop on the whole time, I think it would have shutdown due to the alarms that are set up. kpowersave should look at the total number of batteries and compute the time remaining based on both, not just the currently discharging battery. I am going to try to verify that this is the case and if so create a bug for it, if one doesn't already exist. edward -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
