Wrong power warnings + sleep

[Trip]

I boot up the laptop with power connected & all seems fine.
I unplug the power cord from the laptop & the warning that pops up is wrong.
Sometimes it shows the power unplugged warning, some times it doesn't.
It always shows a warning about the battery power being low & that I should plug in the power cable again. In the same message it always has the correct percentage in brackets (98%) & the icon on the desktop bar seems fine.
When I plug the power back in a new message appears, stating the same wrong low power message again & the laptop go's into sleep/suspend mode.

Tested with Dapper Flight 6 live cd & my full Breezy to Dapper upgrade install.
Sony VAIO VGN-FS215E laptop.

It some time's pops up a ballon saying critical power after I plug the power lead back in too.

Is this still an issue for you in 7.10 (Gutsy) or 8.04 (Hardy)?

If it is, please attach the following information to the bug report as _separate_ attachments:

 * Output of uname -a
 * Output of sudo lspci -vvnn
 * Output of sudo dmidecode
 * Try to hibernate/suspend and then restart the system and attach /var/log/kern.log.0
 * Tarball of /proc/acpi directory. You can't just tar all files because their content sometimes changes etc.
   cp -r /proc/acpi /tmp
   tar -cvjf ~/acpi.tar.bz /tmp/acpi

Thanks!
