I think I found the problem, but I don't know where I can fix it.

Follow:

On my DELL latitude 110L, Fn+F3 (battery) doesn't work on 8.10, used to
work on 8.04.

When a simulate the keycode 236, discovered by:
> grep BATTERY /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants
< KEY_BATTERY=236
using:
> sudo acpi_fakekey 236 
nothing happens too.

but if I go to a console (tty: ctrl+alt+f1) and issue the same command
(or press fn+f3), when I go back to X, the battery report is showed.

Maybe X is blocking gnome-battery to catch the command?

xev reports keycode 244 when I press it:
------------------------------------------------
KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,
    root 0x7a, subw 0x1000002, time 21856063, (51,52), root:(891,636),
    state 0x0, keycode 244 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,

    state 0x0, keycode 244 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False
----------------------------------------

lshal -m shows nothing.
