Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: laptop-detect

I've just upgraded from Intrepid to Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04). A few things
broke, one of them is that it seems Ubuntu does not think it's running
on a laptop anymore.

wi...@spirit:~$ laptop-detect -v
We're not on a laptop (no relevant hint found)

The installed laptop-detect package version is 0.13.7ubuntu1

Laptop information:
bios-version:R0021N3
system-manufacturer:Sony Corporation
system-product-name:VGN-TX3XP_B
system-version:J001QD5V

Other things no longer working:
1) getting a message of "CPU frequence scaling unsupported" (I have the CPU 
Frequency Scaling Monitor applet installed) when I login to X
2) the Battery Charge Monitor applet no longer showing the battery charge level 
(says "0:00", and "running on battery" even though I have power connected)
3) fan running all the time
4) fn-keys for brightness controll no longer working
5) touchpad no longer working - I have filed a separate bug 368954 about that

I am not sure what is the proper package to report a bug against about
these myriad of symptoms, all of which seem to derive more or less from
the same source -- Ubuntu not detecting being on a laptop. I'm not sure
if laptop-detect is authoritative on that.

On Intrepid, and releases before that (at least Feisty and Hardy), there
were no problems.

You can find dmesg etc. files attached to bug 368954 but I can re-attach
also here on request.
