Comment 107 for bug 629258

I have this "Laptop battery (estimating..)" on battery left click.
Doesn't change -
Compaq Presario A900 (bios f.33)

whilst on battery
cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/current_now
0
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: discharging
present rate: 0 mW
remaining capacity: 3422 mWh
present voltage: 10800 mV

So same situation where no current rate is given.
But graphic bat OK and % reading in power stats details tab.
I haven't tried ppa:brian-rogers/power yet but thanks to Andy Eyre and Brian Rogers for the option.
As it is a client machine and non crucial bug I am reluctant to modify from vanilla much.
