Description:
Powerdevil (package-group kde) does not recognize a connected power supply. It says, not connected even it is connected. So the automatic change of the power profile does not work. I have seen this problem only on my notebook Clevo M860TU. The gnome-power-manager works without a problem. KDE developer say, it is a distribution dependend problem.

To fix this problem, I have to change the order of the ACPI modules to load in /etc/rc.sysinit.

ACPI_MODULES="ac battery button fan processor thermal"
to
ACPI_MODULES="battery ac button fan processor thermal"

Another way to fix it is to mark the ac module blacklisted in de rc.conf and manually load it at the end in rc.local.

rc.conf:
MODULES=(!ac)

rc.local:
modprobe ac
This task depends upon

I don't think changing changing module order is the key here, udev will load it anyway in no decent order.
Thomas we should remove the acpi loading from initscripts soon, all modules are loaded by udev now

I commented out the code block if "[ -d /proc/acpi ]; then" in rc.sysinit and restored the default rc.local and rc.conf. This solved the problem. Everything works as expected now :)

@tpowa: Since when does ACPI autoloading work?
Comment by Aaron Griffin (phrakture) - Monday, 21 September 2009, 23:23 GMT
If ACPI autoloading is working, we should remove the sysinit code and let udev do all this

I think since kernel .22 or .23 acpi modules got the corresponding aliases for autoloading.
