By default the applet seems to check battery status every second (I don't know why :)), but Mike's patch makes it to check status every 30 seconds. You can find Mike's page at http://mikehardy.net/linux_latitude_d800/ Regards, -- Lauri Jutila Chief Linux Fellow, Reforge [email protected] http://www.reforge.fi -- fedora-test-list mailing list [email protected] http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
