Some more comments:
I have had similar problems with the x60s battery as described above, i.e.
sometimes it would not seem to charge when the laptop stays on. This was
always resolved by turning the laptop off, taking the battery off for a few
minutes, putting it back in and letting it charge overnight. I have not found
out what causes that problem. It has happened to me three times during the
past year and a half.
However under normal circumstances, with screen brightness at minimum + 1,
and no wifi activity, the battery indeed lasts 6 hours. It's that kind of
large battery, 9-cell or was it 12-cell...
About the macbook2.1:
- The kernel I'm running is linux libre from jxself. "uname -r" returns
"3.14.36-gnu.pae"
- I checked, and the dvd and infrared remote work without needing to
configure anything in Trisquel 7.
- One issue which is extremely annoying: it seems that libreboot has problems
turning the laptop on. If I release the power button too early or too late,
I'm greeted with a constant spam of text "--MORE--Unknown key 0xff detected".
When this happens I have to turn the computer off from the power switch and
then try booting again.
- About 2D or 3D acceleration. This is an old laptop, so you won't be playing
any new 3D games on it. You probably can watch HD movies but I haven't tried
decoding any so far. glxgears runs at 60fps. Supertuxkart runs at "28/30/48 -
15KTris" in a 1024x768 window. If you want some specific tests, please reply
here. I am not that experienced in benchmarking graphical acceleration.
