Hello, Just a quick question... would having ACPI working on a laptop increase battery life at all? I just left it sat idle without ACPI and it got to an hour and 30 minutes... I went to start xchat and it just switched off straight away after it started loading :o) if I leave it doing `cat /dev/random > /dev/null` it only lasts 45 minutes :o( I am just wondering if it's a naffed battery... or... there's something a bit wrong with the laptop or... I just need ACPI? I don't really know what ACPI does, so.... :o) Thanks!
