Moreover how ACPI BIOS influences > synaptics driver? I do not see any BIOS call there... I have this problem reported as bug 1093 at bugme.osdl.org, my laptop is an ACER with intel chipset. The problem will happen even if you only check the batery status once a day, at that time, you can get the lost sync thing in 2.6, but not in 2.2, so the problem is not with the gnome applet, in fact I'm seing it under icewm and I have been able to reproduce it without any battery applet or anything like that, only running the "acpi -V" command each minute in a cron, that suffices for getting the errors. I believe that this should be solved, in 2.6, as it certainly doesn't happen on 2.4, if you want more info look at bug #1093 at bugme.osdl.org or if you need more details just ask for them. Hope this helps. Regards... -- Manty/BestiaTester -> http://manty.net
