Or that Fedora 11 can't read the hardware properly that checks on the battery. When I updated, 11 said all sorts of silly things about my battery, but it's fine. e.g. It thought the battery was always fully charged, and didn't notice it discharging. I have a multi-boot laptop, and it was easy to test with another OS. As for Robert checking his, if he has another OS, or still has a Fedora 10 installation, or a live disc, he can boot up one of them. He might try updating Fedora 11, in case there's an update that improves reading the hardware. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
