(I've BCC'd Mike, although I apologise if I got the wrong Mike Kasick!) I'm in a similar situation with my HP / Compaq nc6320, with battery status "hanging" after a little while of laptop use. (And speedstep issues, but that is another problem) I discovered the patch at: http://librarian.launchpad.net/3435574/the-patch.txt Unfortunately I can't remember its origin. Some Ubuntu support forum I think. I'm interested to know if this is an acceptable solution to fix the problem, or if it simply a workaround to a problem elsewhere. Perhaps some ACPI guru might have some insight. Regards Peter Clifton
