This happened to me as well with mplayer. I am sure all my dvds played without hickups in the prerelease versions, I have to tweak the cache settings a bit but thats all.

I think you/we/someone should hook it up to (or grab code from) ibam. It already does this and also learns the correlation between charge level and charge/discharge rate, which can make a big difference. It's available in testing & unstable. http://ibam.sourceforge.net/ IBAM is an advanced battery monitor for laptops, which uses statistical and adaptive linear methods to provide accurate estimations of minutes of battery left or of the time needed until full recharge.

gnome battery applet for acpi on sony grx
Hello, I have tried to run the gnome battery applet without much success on a sony grx500 laptop. At first it was locking the system tight requiring holding down the power button for 4 seconds to reboot. After loading a bunch of acpi modules it doesn't crash the system but just sits there doing nothing. Here are the modules I have loaded: andy:/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1# lsmod Module Size Used byTainted: PF ac 3208 0 (unused) battery 8488 0 (unused) fan 2760 0 (unused) thermal11528 0 (unused) processor 17720 0 [thermal] button 3892 0 (unused) sonypi 7808 0 (unused) i810_audio 20192 1 (autoclean) soundcore 3940 2 (autoclean) [i810_audio] radeon 87608 0 vmnet 20096 4 parport_pc 15172 0 parport23744 0 [parport_pc] vmmon 19348 0 (unused) orinoco_cs 4616 1 ds 6656 2 [orinoco_cs] yenta_socket8736 2 pcmcia_core39552 0 [orinoco_cs ds yenta_socket] ide-scsi7680 0 usb-storage51776 0 (unused) scsi_mod 89336 2 [ide-scsi usb-storage] ac97_codec 9472 0 [i810_audio] orinoco29824 0 [orinoco_cs] hermes 3488 0 [orinoco_cs orinoco] msdos 5084 0 (unused) fat30456 0 [msdos] keybdev 1920 0 (unused) usbkbd 3136 0 (unused) input 3520 0 [keybdev usbkbd] usb-uhci 21316 0 (unused) usbcore49216 0 [usb-storage usbkbd usb-uhci] andy:/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1# ps aux | grep acpi root 222 0.0 0.1 1268 536 ?S20:23 0:00 /usr/sbin/acpid -c /etc/acpi/events -s /var/run/.acpid.socket Any ideas?

Re: doubt??
Dear Franzi, Yes, the driver does work with kernel 2.2.20. I am using a pretty-much default installation of Woody (22 July 02) on a ThinkPad770 with a 3com FEM656 CardBus LAN/modem. I found that if I ran dmesg just after boot, it showed that the 3c575 driver was installed and running, but the kernel could not mount the card because it was "out of resource," which meant that I needed to allocate an additional IO memory range for the card. Since I am not a powerpenguin I could not figure this out, so I wrote to Dave Hinds, the author of the PCMCIA-HOWTO. His reply fixed the problem. I sent part of the dmesg output to him, cs: could not allocate 512 IO ports for CardBus and he responded: Edit /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and add a line like: include port 0x1000-0x1fff This error is actually one of the things covered in the PCMCIA-HOWTO in the troubleshooting section, I think. -- Dave He may be right, but I have not yet found the place where the fix is described. Hope this helps.
