Hi, I may have mentioned part of this before; if so, please forgive the repetition. I have an IBM Thinkpad 310ED. (P133) running FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE. I have applied the latest BIOS update from IBM. The laptop works fine with Windows 95. (Well, as good as it could work with Windows 95 <grin>) Anyway, under FreeBSD, the battery status doesn't get updated. For instance, if the battery is at 93% when the laptop boots, FreeBSD thinks it is still at 93% even several hours later when it is at 15%. Worse, the laptop itself thinks it is still at 93% as indicated by its Fn-F4 battery status meter. I have two questions: 1. Will this behavior in any way harm the battery? 2. What can I do to prevent this behavior? Thanks, John Goerzen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
