Hello,

it is a Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04 on a Hercules ecafé 900CL netbook.

After connecting or disconnecting the netbook to/from the main,
the file /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
contains fantasy values for the present rate.
The voltage is ok: it jumps up or down by less than a volt
when I connect or disconnect the laptop.
The capacity is ok too: it basically does not change.

But the present rate gives erroneous values
in the range 65000-65536 mA
during at least several seconds, if not dozens of seconds,
after connection or disconnection to/from the main.

The most annoying consequence (I believe it is a consequence)
is that when I disconnect the laptop,
it goes into sleep immediately
unless I press any key within the first second after disconnection.

I'm available for any tests etc.

Cyprien.
