Re: acer travelmate 2313 battery problem.

That's a little bit weird but similar to the problem I had with my
Acer. You will need to build the IASL DSDT compiler and fix your DSDT,
because there is not a fixed one in the ACPI4Linux database yet. But
first, before you try that, try upgrading your BIOS and seeing if that
solves the problem.

Please look here http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=122145 for
ideas. They apply to more than just Gentoo machines.

HTH!
