Hi. I was using breezy upgraded from hoary on my acer aspire 1691WMLi laptop.
This laptop has a buggy DSDT. In hoary I downloaded a custom
DSDT from acpi.sourceforge.net, compiled it with the iasl compiler version
acpica-unix-20050309. The DSDT file is the ACER-Aspire_1691WLMi-S3C11-custom.
After the dsdt was compiled, I copied the output file to /etc/mkinitrd/DSDT
(without extension) & did a dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r). After
rebooting I had battery status in hoary. I did this on a fresh hoary install. A
few months later I upgraded to breezy. I still had my battery status. I have the
gnome-battery applet which worked & read my battery status. After the udev (13)
package came in breezy things in my laptop began to work bad, I tried to fix
them but since I screw somethings I decided to download the breezy preview & did
a fresh install. I've now upgraded all packages. After that I tried to apply my
custom DSDT file which worked with my previous breezy upgrade & did the exact
same procedure to install it but it doesn't work. The gnome-battery applet
doesn't detect when I'm using the battery. Any ideas why this was working this
morning before my decision to do a fresh install & now it doesn't? I've searched
the bugzilla but all bugs related are closed & fixed. I'm using the 686 kernel.

Some output:
