Description:
The battstat applet is displaying a constant 0% battery. It worked just
fine in Dapper Flight 2 but since I've installed flight 3 the problem
has appeared.

I'm using a Compaq Evo N410C with the internal battery and one extra
clip on.

The icon doesn't switch to the charging icon even when AC is plugged in.


ACPI shows both batteries as fully charged.

I'm not sure what other information is useful, but don't hesitate to ask
for anymore.
