Power Management
« on: December 13, 2004, 11:52:01 am »
The battery % rarely changes, and when it does it is in leaps and bounds. This is most annoying when the battery is low- it will suddenly go from 30% down to 3% and start getting annoyed with me.
'apm' always displays the same % as the status bar app.
Is there some way I can force an update, or make it update more often?

No way unless you want to hack the kernel. We hope to have a sane PM in 2.6

I'd love to     , but I'm still a way off that yet!
