Description
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...

I see this too. Seems ACPI can't read correctly the battery discharge rate on some machines. Pasha and I tried to fix the dsdt table for my laptop, but I wonder if something could be done in acpi to fix this, ie:
- if detected rate is 0
- check battery life remaining at a given time
- check battery life remaining a given time later
- calculate remaining life by looking at how much battery life has been used in a given time to determine the rate?

Time can't be fixed, because in table:
Store (BST1, Index (PBST, 0x00)) Store (0x00, Index (PBST, 0x01)) <--- Battery rate Store (Local2, Index (PBST, 0x02)) Store (Local3, Index (PBST, 0x03))
And this table give error with compile
