Description Martin Perina 2003-09-30 11:00:12 UTC 
I use battstat-applet from gnome-applets-2.2.3 on my IBM ThinkPad G40 with
ACPI enabled (my notebook doesn't have APM). Battstat-applet is functional,
but it consumes 19% of CPU when running. 

I've found a description of this problem and a patch, which solved it, on

http://www.its.caltech.edu/~dmoore/battstat/

Would it be possible to insert this patch into standard source code for
battstat-applet?

Does this patch apply to 2.4.x? There's little hope for one more 2.2.x
release IMO.
Comment 4 Martin Perina 2003-10-01 09:32:50 UTC 
I'm not author of this patch, but there're two versions of this patch
on following URL:

http://www.its.caltech.edu/~dmoore/battstat/

The first one is against 2.2.x and the second one is againts 2.3.90
version of gnome-applets

Comment 8 Kjartan Maraas 2003-10-06 10:47:55 UTC 
Ok, I've tested the patch with APM and I don't see any ill effects of
it there. I'll test it on ACPI later today and see how that fares.
Patch applies cleanly against today's CVS.
Comment 9 Kjartan Maraas 2003-10-11 11:38:53 UTC 
Been running this patch since and I don't see any problems with it.
