This is a Toshiba Tecra A5 laptop. I installed latest beer battery widget to control battery status. Icons are right, percentage status is right, status (charging/discharging) is right, but time indication is always "6 minutes remaining", with battery full charged, with battery almost empty or on AC...

Using eCS 2.0rc1, w4 kernal, ACPI 3.01, APM 1.16. Battery widget always shows 0% whether plugged in or not, but time remaining seems to be correct. Battery.log (from ACPIBattery) shows an error evaluating _BIF, but ends by saying 'no error'(?). Using 'iasl' to check the DSDT does not show any error in _BIF.

Using eCS 2.0rc1, w4 kernal, ACPI 3.01, APM 1.16, Gateway 7405GX laptop (Athlon 64, VIA K8T800 chipset). The 'Power' object is set up for 'Maximum Performance' when plugged in and 'Battery Optimized Performance' when not plugged. Unplugging the laptop causes the screen to dim and the Power object (and battery widget) shows it is on battery power. On the Power object however, under 'Power and Performance Optimization' it remains 'Maximum Power'. Since the screen does dim, it is not clear if this is true.

Also, in the Power object properties, on the power tab, the setting 'Enable state changes due to inactivity' will not 'stick' - if I check it, on next boot it is no longer set. Not sure if this is supposed to be supported.
