[Bug 38174] Power management doesn't work on N340S8 laptop.

[Tomasz Dominikowski]

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Wishlist
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Confirmed


Description:
Whether acpi is the culprit I don't know.

It worked in Breezy. Now, in fresh, fully dist-upgraded Dapper with default services running, things that don't work:
- battery not detected by HAL (I've checked it in hal-device-manager)
- when I close the lid, screen doesn't blank
- Power button forcefully powers the computer down (instead of shutting the system down first)
- when I shut the system down, it stops at "sending the TERM signal..." and the laptop doesn't power off.
- of course sleep/hibernate doesn't work ( <- never tested these two things in breezy though)

I've fondled around with the new power management (in gconf-editor too) after I discovered these flaws, but to no avail.
It's an old laptop, SiS630S chipset. Celeron 800MHz. 320MB RAM. I can provide more details, logs when requested, because I have no idea what is failing and I'm not experienced in debugging, so if you want a debuglog/log please provide commands to obtain them. Thanks for bothering with this report!
