[tlinux-users:07441] Re: Ubuntu not getting battery

Well, the patch worked fine at the end.  Now the system detects the
battery activity; God is good.  The ONLY thing that, well I dont know if
is fixable is the measurement of the battery.  It starts in about 12
hours pending, and each time it decreases in 1% the time measurement
goes down and down until getting an almost accurate measurement at
97-96%.  I dont know what could be that, because in windows happens the
same.
