[2.5.66] APM loses track of batteries

Hello List,

Hardware: Dell Latitude CPx J 650Mhz.

- From time to time, the klaptopdaemon that comes with KDE reports that no
batteries are present in my laptop, even when both are inserted:

devilkin@laptop:~$ cat /proc/apm
1.16ac 1.2 0x03 0x01 0xff 0x10 -1% -1 ?
devilkin@laptop:~$ apm
On-line

When removing one of the batteries and re-inserting it, apm seems to detect
that they are both there again:

devilkin@laptop:~$ cat /proc/apm
1.16ac 1.2 0x03 0x01 0x03 0x09 100% 478 min
devilkin@laptop:~$ apm
On-line, battery status high: 100% (7:58:00)

After a while, it seems to forget this again.

No messages can be found in the syslog.

The most annoying part is that the klaptopdaemon (which warns me if my battery
is to run out of juice) is also unable to warn me, and the laptop just dies
unexpectedly.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
