[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#466058: xfce4-battery-plugin: xfce4 battery plugin gives wrong infomation with linux kernel 2.6.24

[qi]

Package: xfce4-battery-plugin
Version: 0.5.0-4
Severity: important

I am using Debian Sid on a Dell laptop, and the xfce4-battery-plugin show wrong
infomation after updated to linux-image-2.6.24. It shows right when getting up, 
but turns to be 28% after several seconds. At the same time, acpi -b and
lshal are all giving right numbers. What is the problem?
maybe it is a dell problem?

~$ acpi -b
     Battery 1: charged, 100%

~$ lshal |grep battery
  battery.alarm.design = 480  (0x1e0)  (int)
  battery.alarm.unit = 'mAh'  (string)
