** Description changed:
Binary package hint: acpi
Hi there
I have a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo u9200, and it seems nearly all acpi
stuff works: suspend, hibernate, events when closing the lid and gnome-
power manager knows when the laptop is running on battery, when it's
charging or when it is pluged in with missing battery or fully charged.
But there's one thing that bothers me: while gnome-power-manager 'seems'
to be working correctly, the battery applet doesn't. It always shows the
laptop being on running on ac power. In terminal, acpi -a -b shows the
following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ acpi -b -a
Battery 1: charged, 41%
AC Adapter 1: off-line
This happens with both ubuntu stock kernel and a .26 kernel. I suspect
it could be some BIOS stuff, but I'm not sure. I've read the DSDT and it
points to different places wether it's a linux OS, windows XP, windows
XP SP1, SP2 or Vista. I've tried to recompile it pointing linux to the
same place as all other options, but it still shows the same.
Any ideas?
[EDIT by Chris Coulson]
The battery status indicated in /proc/acpi and sysfs (and therefore HAL)
- is incorrect. With the AC adapter present, the battery status is
- 'charged' or 'charging', which is correct. Without the AC adapter, the
- battery status stays at 'charged', when it should be 'discharging'. The
- side effect of this is that the gnome-power-manager icon does not
- display when it should do, and the battery status icon (which uses data
- from /proc/acpi) always shows the laptop as running on AC power.
