I have run Ubuntu/Kubuntu and Knoppix CDs a couple of times, but not enough to be able to compare them, either. Several people I know have mentioned noticing similarly short battery life with FC compared to other distros. > I use the same notebook and same DSDT for booting FreeBSd and get then > almost double battery life I haven't tried running any *BSD on here, so I don't know about that. > also/or, seems that FC5 is not charging up to max capacity, I get battery > full notice very fast, then I boot FreeBSD and it still charge it for 30 > minutes > > the fixes I have in the DSDT are exactly about the battery, even if FC5 > does not report the errors when not using a custom table the battery life > is even shorter > > Is there something I could check/do about it? I would love to see battery life with Fedora right up there with the other Linux & BSD systems. I don't know what to try, either. So far, I've just resigned myself to the fate that battery life is just going to be shorter with Fedora. -- Lamont R. Peterson <lamont@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Senior Instructor Guru Labs, L.C.
