bug in acpi?

I am not sure if this is a bug in the acpid. Whether I plug in the ac power or pull out the ac power, the events generated are always

received event "battery BAT1 00000080 00000001"

and it never says anything else, such as AC_POWER or anything..

my computer is a toshiba satellite m35x-s311

I have the same issue on a gateway 8510GZ but all my acpi stuff seems to work.

but if you have the same issue, how can you get it to work? there is no way to distinguish the events, therefore, you cannot move to a different runlevel when you change your power source. please let me know. thanks.

I actually decided to get rid of the batery runlevel idea....my laptop seems to switch betwen AC and Batery no problem. Not to say that there is not a problem with ACPI....but i just never really wanted to troubleshoot it. I know that i am not being helpful but i just wanted to let you know that you are not aone and if some one has a solutin maybe it will help me too.

i have the same issue with the generated message, but it doesn't bother me. i don't use battery state, and cpufreqd changes between the different governors on ac plug/unplug just fine

I filed a bug report regarding the issue. Stopped when I saw the problem and didn't go any further... since you said it is no problem getting the cpufreqd to work, I will skip the runlevels section and jump into the cpufreqd. thanks!
