NetBSD ouikka 4.99.2 NetBSD 4.99.2 (GENERIC_LAPTOP) #2: Fri Sep 22 13:22:29 EDT 2006  foo@ouikka:/netbsd/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC_LAPTOP i386
>Description:
In the output of apm(8) when battery information are printed, if the APM/ACPI driver (src/sys/dev/acpi/acpi_apm.c) is unable to get the value of `minutes_left', the value returned to userland will be the default unknown value (0xffff) which will be printed on the screen.

I dream of having 45 days of battery on my laptop, but I guess the technology is not yet available :( , and thus, printing this is meaningless (and also wrong).
>How-To-Repeat:
run apm(8)
