Believe it or not, this is actually good news to me. Many people believe this bug to be BIOS related (bias towards Microsoft products by default). I have emailed Sager, and hopefully I will be sent a newer version of the BIOS for the laptop (I haven't updated it since August of last year). I'm going to try that, as well as openSUSE as per your experience with it. I tried Mandriva 2009.1 One x64 this morning, it's also a victim of this bug. I may also try screwing around with KernelCheck under Ubuntu, as it's much easier to change different options and variables (at least for me).
Personally, I don't really care if the laptop detects AC or Battery properly, but this bug, along with Nvidia's powermizer feature, is absolutely crippling my performance. As long as I can get the 9800 GT to work at full speed, I'll settle for a partial fix, even if it means sacrificing the detection of the battery in favor of the AC adaptor. Have you, by any chance, found a way to force your card to AC power mode? -- ac adapter is not detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412499 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
