Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

Hi,

I am using Hardy on a Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop.

'acpi -V' returns :

Battery 1: discharging, 55%, remaining
No support for device type: thermal
  AC Adapter 1: off-line

and gnome-power-manager reports a wrong state as you can see in the screenshot (it is in French but you can see g-p-m shows 95%).

I noted that restarting hal updates the g-p-m information.

I have the same issue on Hardy. It worked up until about 2 weeks ago.

Similar issue here on my IBM ThinkPad X60s. g-p-m says "52 hours 55 minutes remaining (98%)" which is (unfortunately :-) wrong.
