Hello all,
I am having a problem with my laptop, it doesnt know when the ac adapter is attached. it constantly thinks its running on battery power. it doesnt lose energy but it jus gives incorrect time remaining readings and never shows a plug in the gnome-battstat applet. i have compiled ac adapter acpi into the kernel and battery acpi my laptop is a hp dv1000. i am running acpid. anyway heres all relevant info. can someone please tell me why it doesnt know its charging or has an ac adapter attached. at one point it did know when there was an ac adapter attached. im not sure when it stopped working though.
kernel config:
etop ~ # cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep ACPI
# Power management options (ACPI, APM)

CONFIG_ACPI=y

state with ac adapter attached:
etop ~ # cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: discharging
present rate: 0 mA
remaining capacity: 2080 mAh

this is what happens when i remove and reattach the power cord and run tail -f /var/log/acpid:
