Now that i have "acpi=off", and my APM works, I tried to check my battery
usage;
(a) I tried to run my laptop on battery and worked fine to about 1.30 to
1.45 hr, before it got suspend command (tested 4 time, same result),
(b) Tried a reboot on battery power, Always got suspend before it was
totally up. My boot process takes 4-5 minutes for a complete boot.
NOTE: Batter is 100% charged for every test.
What could be draining the fully charged battery ?
Thanks
Matt Morgan

You're running acpi now. Does the fan work? If so, you're done.
If not, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf (make a backup copy first). Find the
line or lines that start with 'kernel' and add "acpi=off" (without the
quotes) to the end of those lines. Reboot. Now you will be running
apm. If the fan works, then apm is probably what you want. If the fan
still doesn't work, I don't know what to suggest.
By the way, I learned all this by searching and reading the list
archives. It's fun--I recommend it. Find a link at the end of every
list message, or go to
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fedora-list&r=1&w=2
where some good people maintain another archive (with a more reliable
searching tool) of the list.
good luck,
Matt
