can you attach the output of acpidump please ?
It's in the pmtools package.

Also seeing this on my system, Asus G50Vt.  F15's kernel worked fine, F16 does not.

Comment 5 Solomon Peachy 2011-11-15 16:07:39 UTC 
It turns out that I have a dead battery that refuses to accept a charge no matter what kernel/OS is in use -- switching it for a different battery makes the problem go away.  This battery only a couple of months old.

So unless there's some way for the kernel/ACPI layer to kill a battery, I'll chalk this up to a strange coincidence.

I have installed the Original ATI Drivers, and now works. Maybe the Gallium3D Radeon Drivers not implement  the ATI ACPI.
