Hello!

Because i was busy with graphic card, software installation issues, i haven=
t
noticed untill today that battery life of new notebook is incredibly low.

It has core duo processor. Battery life with MS Win is about 2 hours 45 min=
s
while it is about 1h 20 mins with netbsd 4.99.31

This is really bad, so i believe there is problem somewhere. APM shows ther=
e
are two batteries.


Is there anything i can do, to have longer battery life when AC is not
plugged in?
