Subject: pmud reporting wrong battery status?
Date: 24 Jul 2003 02:21:51 +0200
Hi list.

Last night I was playing around with the laptop-mode in
2.4.21-ben2.

While checking what pmud reported i saw that it was reporting "minimum
battery" on a fully charged battery. When connecting the psu pmud
reported "maximum ac".

pmud never reports maximum or medium while system is running og battery,
while on ac, pmud always reports "maximum", even if battery state is
low.

is this the way it should work?

anyone able to reproduce?
or an error in my conf files?

Thanx!
Marius
