I have an HP DV6298US laptop. The laptop battery life estimation is
completely broken. It say it has only 18% life and dies down in less
than 20 minutes. Under Windows the same works for more than 1 and a half
hour. Battery charging, discharging, current every single statistic is
plain WRONG! It is impossible that charge remains at 100% for 10 minutes
even when I pull out the power chord! In the new kernel 2.6.35-22 this
is even more broken. The moment I plug out the charger, the charge level
drops to 58%. Until then it is at 100%.

Ask me for ANY settings you want. I think developing Ubuntu to work with
laptops has always been a challenge for developers. I have had issues
with it since the days of Feisty Fawn. It will be ages before this is
fixed.

The first thing is that on Ubuntu's website itself we cannot afford to
have versions of Ubuntu only for Desktops, Servers and Netbooks alone.
We need separate focus on Notebooks/Laptops. The Desktop features DO NOT
work on Laptops. It is high time the Ubuntu team realizes that Laptops
have special needs.
