Thought I would try here first since its a Toshiba and all. Plus the Linux forum seems a little... dead.

I am only getting 1.5 hours instead of the 3 that I got in Vista. Laptop mode is ON, CPU scales to 1GHZ on battery, and backlight is lowest setting.

Actually, I just did a full restore off the DVDs the other day. I guess I will just deal with it, it happens at random.

I don't think that is a issue with that, it keeps happening at random really. Could it just be my skin is dry?

The recovery disks that came with my A205 are amazing. They were able to delete the EXT3 and other partitions from Linux and overwrite the boot loader for me. These are so much better then the ones my Acer came with!

I have the A205-S5859 and lately my touchpad has been acting a little crazy. I can click on stuff but the mouse won't move. Sometimes I need to wet my finger to get it working. Anyone know what the problem is?

Way to dig up a old thread! :-p

Well, my Plan didn't work out so I won't be buying any computer.
