Laptop Battery Doesn't Charge Completely in openSUSE.

Sorry about that but we drifted off-topic slightly. 11.4 is due to be released in March.

Check your laptop is being correctly detected by openSUSE. For example, you can browse the report from running (as root) this terminal command:

lspci -nnk

If you need battery mobility, it can only be good to have a spare.
