Thanks. Didsome more research today. Pretty sure it's not my VGA, didn't have any trouble before.
You say you are on 12.04, right? Well according to what I found, the bug isn't present there. I found this bug, which is marked as "resolved": <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1222021>. And then this bug, which is newer and is marked as "confirmed": <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1307545>. The newer bug seams to be the problem.
