I think you can leave it on but you will have to increase the poll interval. Setting it to 30 sec or even 1 min will probably let you have your Synaptics working and still have an idea on battery level. > So, something is the matter with the ACPI battery code!

Polling battery often takes long time, especially polling full info as opposed to just state. :( -- Dmitry ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
