Well bear in mind we're not exactly using proper drivers now and the ones we have are not likely to have been optimized all that much. Speaking of bears, did anyone manaage to save the bearwindows video drivers? His site was one of the many that suffered webrot due to the death of Geocities. The documentation can be retrieved via the internetarchive, but not the drivers themselves. See: http://web.archive.org/web/20080118204712/...ndows/vbe9x.htm I suspect if we were to ever get good drivers based on what can be gleaned from the FOSS drivers we'd get much better battery life out of our eeepcs even in Win9x. Unfortunately there don't seem to be any low level driver programmers willing to give things a look, so we're unlikely to know one way or another any time soon. --iWindoze
