Re: battery charge status applet broken?

[Steve Ward]

OK, I loaded the acpid RPM and started it, loaded ac and battery 
modules, now when I start the battery monitor applet it works fine but 
my cursor goes "out of control" and races about the screen doing random 
things.

If I manage to logout of the session and the login screen returns, the 
cursor becomes sane again.

Confirmed after a power cycle.

Ideas?

For me it does....as does using the battery monitor in gkrellm.

External mouse (usb) does work, not the PS/2 built-in...this is on an
R31.

Um, you have a very very strange BIOS? :)

Seriously, the cursor only goes wacky *after* starting the battery
applet?
