I use my laptop similar to you as a portable desk machine, ie it spends m= ost=20 of its time plugged into AC. I also have klaptopdaemon working, edited the current acpi proc tree into= =20 portable.cpp in the source. I have not gone down the 2.4.20 route, but will have to shortly as I need= the=20 updated usb support. I was waiting until it appeared stable, but I guess= i=20 will have to bit the bullet and try it. Since working through the variou= s=20 issues a while back I have a stable acpi install. About the only area I=20 don't have working is the speedstep switching from P0 to P1; it always=20 reports P0. I concur, beefy is a good description, but a lot less weight than a numbe= r of=20 the alternatives, and you forgot the 1600x1200 screen - very nice;) Hope this helps Bob On Friday 03 January 2003 07:59, Alexander Hoogerhuis wrote: > Pavel Machek writes: > > Hi! > > > > > present: yes > > > design capacity: 1918 mAh > > > last full capacity: 1918 mAh > > > battery technology: rechargeable > > > design voltage: 14800 mV > > > design capacity warning: 192 mAh > > > > 2Ah seems quite low, but as you have 15V > > battery its 30Wh, which might be okay for > > *small* notebook. > > Evo n800c is not a *small* notebook, its a pretty beefy thing and the > biggest beast Compaq could conjure up this summer :) P4-1.7GHz, 768Mb > RAM and a 30Gb disk and a nice ATI Radeon 7500 to boot :) > > > > And it's been a long time since I've had much physics, but the desi= gn > > > capacity doesn't seem right to me.
