However pcbsd7 alpha (and freebsd v7 realease, as well as pcbsd1.5/freebsd = 6.3) only reports a max battery life of about one and a half hours.=A0 Is this an acp= i issue, or is it something else, such as a powernow driver issue.=A0 With Op= enBSD there is support for powernow K8, which I think K8 means athalon/turi= on 64bit processors. I can help test out changes to acpi, if needed, with reagrds to amd64 turio= n processors, as I have a Toshiba Satallite A215 model as well as the Dell = 1526. Regards, Edward A. Hirsel =0A=0A=0A
