Well running without battery might cause problems, why disable a fine UPC when it's there. ;-) > Seems that this is a fault of a better implementation of something...

They seem to all behave slightly differently with respect to what they assume to be true from the ACPI reported values, and what they try on their own. -- Marco Roeland
