[Enhanced] Speed Step reduces the clock speed and the CPU core voltage.. cl= ock=20 throttling just idles the CPU for a certain proportion of the time. If you= =20 want slow try forcing them both to the slowest speed.. Pentium-M 75Mhz :) > > Any chance there is a new BIOS available for that system? > > A quick googling session brought up nothing.

Your dmesg shows acpi_cmbat entries, ie acpi_cmbat0: <Control Method Battery> on acpi0 acpi_cmbat1: <Control Method Battery> on acpi0 which I think is pretty fundamental to being able to read battery status ;) =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart3201156.qh5PmB1J0Z Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBzoFq5ZPcIHs/zowRAhnBAKCqzfgW0LgGokZYQNs0pyMKYxsl0QCgiMC/ 13rxTWyiGN0EPSMMQUPnvqw= =EDXR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3201156.qh5PmB1J0Z--
