First of all I want to say I'm a newbie in GNU/Linux world. Please forgive me if I write something wrong.

I installed Feisty last Tuesday (May, 22th) and everything works fine with battery / AC status. But since system auto-updated himself yesterday, gnome-power-management always detects my laptop like an usual desktop machine. In Hal device manager "Battery Bay" element also disappeared. But acpi status looks ok:

enrique@PCdeEnrique:/$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: charged
present rate: unknown
remaining capacity: 2144 mAh
present voltage: 12067 mV

enrique@PCdeEnrique:/$ cat /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ACAD/state
state: on-line

Acpi changes its state when I pull AC cord:

enrique@PCdeEnrique:/$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: discharging
present rate: unknown
remaining capacity: 2208 mAh
present voltage: 12167 mV

enrique@PCdeEnrique:/$ cat /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ACAD/state
state: off-line

Also, battery monitor shows this message: "Backend legacy (no HAL) activated" (translated from Spanish)

I hope this information will be useful. I don't know if this is a similar but different bug in Hal... please say it if you think it so.

PD: Sorry about my poor English !
