Well, the first thing to say is that, on Windows, when the laptop is unplugged,
the processor slows down to 200 mhz instead of 600 mhz when plugged. That
says a lot of heat and, I guess power. When I say up to 6h, I mean when the
laptop is idle of course.

Same here, I tried to let it idle and it hold 2h30 ..

Yeah, I've been trying for some time now to make it work.
It suspends very well but never ever woke up. Even worse, I can't even hard
reboot. I have to remove the battery and plug it back to make it work.
By the way, if anyone has an idea about what's wrong ... please share =]
