Description Colin Macdonald 2005-01-21 00:47:41 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The power connection status icon always shows the power plug icon and the
tooltip claims "System is running on AC power" even when my system is running on
the battery.

The tooltip for the "battery status" icon (green battery) says "** mins till
charged" when discharging *or* charging (I think the number of minutes is
accurate however.  It correctly says "Battery charged (100%)" when the battery
is charged.

While the system is charging, the power plug (correctly) has a flashing
lightening bolt over it.

I've been using this system since GNOME 2.6 (I think) and using kernels from
2.6.8.1 to 2.6.10 both unpatched and patched with various acpi.sf.net releases.

/proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC/state correctly shows either:
state:     off-line
or
state:     on-line

/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state correctly shows whether it is discharging or charging.

Does this happen every time?
