IK don't because I've not applied the right kernel patches (yet) for my

I can get about 2 hours, but I've got ACPI enabled in my kernel, and
acpid running - not that it does any good, AFAIK. And I'm wireless, too,
so my NIC sucks extra power. I expect that my long(er) battery life is
due to the laptop, and not the ACPI.
