Possibly a duplicate of bug 572896. Here's a scratch build of gnome-power-manager for i686: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2048407 . Please test it and if it helps, close this bug as a duplicate of 572896.

Yes - Great! - it fixes this long standing bug :)
And my battery makes sense again ...

Comment 3 Michal Schmidt 2010-03-12 11:49:13 UTC
