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

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.
