      Due to the complexities of power management and the vast differences
      between each of the different power management systems available,
      debugging errors in the battery monitor can be difficult. You will need to
      determine if the error exists in the battery monitor or is a bug in the
      information provided by your machine.

     The following information may be useful for troubleshooting what is wrong
     with your battery monitor. It is by no means exhaustive. If you find a bug
     with the Battery Charge Monitor (that is not caused by bad information being reported
     by ACPI), please <ulink url="http://bugzilla.mate.org/">report it</ulink>.

       that will be indicated in the about dialog by placing a star next to the

      Other backends do not currently give indication they are being used, so
      you will have to guess based on your hardware. Most modern PC laptops are
      using ACPI as the backend. This is also the backend with the largest
      number of inconsistencies.

        If you are using the ACPI backend for the Battery Charge Monitor, it is important to
	check that ACPI is giving you the right information. If it isn't, then
	you will need to look into upgrading your DSDT or something else related
	to ACPI.

	by HAL or the wrong information is being reported, you can attempt to
	disable the HAL backend by setting a GSettings key.
