It makes sense if battery power is > very low. Battery #1 : present Remaining capacity : 47822 mWh, 100.0% Design capacity : 50760 mWh Last full capacity : 47822 mWh, 94.21% of design capacity (similar output was included in the original post) Regardless of battery condition should I not still get an event for removing and reinserting the power cable?

It works just fine on 2.6.19-r5 (gentoo) Whilst is *may* have been a bug, the issue should no longer exist on a newer kernel. > >> One interesting though, if I do : modprobe button >> then every 30 seconds or so I get: >> received event "battery BAT1 00000080 00000001" >> >> Even when i do rmmod button I still keep getting these events. >> The only way to go back to "normal" behaviour is to reboot. >> >> Any suggestions as to what might be my problem here ? >> > I guess your battery power level is low. Nope, that's not it. Don't really get your logic either. *Only* when a certain module is loaded and after that *only* a reboot stops these messages means that the battery is low? > So, I take it that my choice is limited to using the newer kernel ? I would normally not hesitate to use the newer kernel but my employer's vpn client is limited to 2.6.17 Nigel.
