i've solve this problem editing /usr/sbin/laptop_mode and changing

with
" if [ "$VERBOSE_OUTPUT" != 0 ] ; then "
next time i've reboot the machine it told me
"Sun Nov 6 18:38:17 2005: Enabling laptop mode: Laptop Mode Tools 1.10

instead of
" /usr/sbin/laptop_mode: line 199: [: yes: integer expression expected "
Thank you for your contribution. Unfortunately, your solution is not
correct: it only hides the symptoms instead of fixing the problem. In
bash script, the "!=" operator means string comparison, while the "-ne"
operator indicates integer comparison. The value of VERBOSE_OUTPUT, at
the point where the error occurs, is "yes", which is completely wrong,
unexpected by the design of laptop-mode-tools. Changing "-ne" into "!="
hides this fact (as indeed "yes" != "0"), but does not fix the cause of
the problem -- the wrong value of VERBOSE_OUTPUT. In fact, as Steve
Langasek noted earlier in the comments of this bug report, the value of
VERBOSE_OUTPUT came from a completely different place, which set it to
yes/no and not to 0/1: the Debian init system sets a variable called
VERBOSE, which laptop-mode-tools interprets as equivalent to
VERBOSE_OUTPUT because of backward compatibility with an earlier config
version. The correct solution is to ignore the setting of VERBOSE, not
to change the style of comparison.
FYI, the bug is fixed in the 1.11 version of laptop-mode-tools, which
you can download at the laptop-mode-tools homepage:

It has not been uploaded yet because my sponsor has been busy.
