Battery warning

[_beast_]

Hi,

I'm having a two little problems with the battery plugin on my eeepc 900.

First,
if the battery is getting low the battery plugin reports an xmessage every few seconds.

Second,
the plugin asks for time and not percentage, but I can't find any information about remaining time to adjust the parameter in the plugin config.
So is there a posibility to give percentage values to the plugin or where can I find the info how the remaining time is calculated?

best regards
beast

At least I can confirm that I have exactly the same problem with the battery plugin.

Hi
I also get this alarm when the ac adapter is unplugged.
Hardware is Compaq CQ61 Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T3400 @ 2.16GHz.
Found that the offensive line is in /usr/lib/lxpanel/plugins/batt.so

i.e.
expose_eventbatt: illegal token %s
batt: unknown var %s
xmessage Battery lowblack#28f200#22cc00#ffee00#d9ca00Battery: %d%% charged

Battery condition is ok as per /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state and /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
Thanks for any help with this.
