I have a trippy observation which may be a Clue. At least for some people's problem. I don't know how to use this Clue, but I toss it out there in case it makes an "aha" for anyone. I have been having a related problem on my Presario 2100. I recently wiped WinXP and replaced with Feisty. For about

And to follow up on that... Feisty had a fit the second after I wrote the above, ergo, problem not fixed. I was not able to duplicate my fix at first. I let the batter drain and restarted the computer - the Gnome power aplet was saying AC power *even with the AC unplugged* and acpitool seemed to b
