If your box is like my compaq (Armada M700) then ACPI is build to an interim draft not the final standard. Does APM work for you? I had to drop back to it because like I said no matter what OS ... it doesn't work right. (my batt actually reads 0 no matter what I do, even if I remove events entirely.)

I was using APM before tryng ACPI but i had problems much more havey than the one i was talking about ACPI (The power management seems to be my CURSE !!! :-)))
With APM my laptop doesn't shutdown ... it seems to do it, everything shutdown but the Power Led remain ON and to power up the system again i have to plug out AC and BATTERY before.
So, i'll try again with APM since the last time i tried it was with an older kernel version.
Bye
