TribesMan Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Works for me on IBM T42... but power consumption with QE & CI enabled is unbelivable.

ThePhased Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Now I can see the battery icon and it seems to be calculating percent correctly. I think the time is wrong, it says 10min @ 100%. Half of the fix worked. I still get a kernel panic when i try to plug the AC in after disconnecting it. I also have an Asus Laptop (Z33A). In 10.4.1 I did not have this problem. I am running 10.4.3 8f1099. Nonetheless, a good patch..hopefully I can fix my problem though. Maybe I can get my hands on 8F1111 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4898-battery-level/#findComment-37887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
