Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
The battery status is not reported correctly anymore in edgy in some laptops. So far, I have it confirmed on some Acer Aspire 3002 notebooks and on my Acer Aspire 3003WLCi. This problem seems not to be coming from hal, as it seems to report the events properly. This is a regression since it used to work perfectly in Dapper. I tried using a custom dsdt from the sourceforge page to no avail.
