F10 - Dell Inspiron - kernel doesn't see battery

[Sam Varshavchik]

I just brought back an Inspiron laptop from the dead, with a hard drive 
transplant. I put F10 on it.

Although the display automatically dims when I unplug it from AC power, and 
run off the battery -- so something is working in that area -- 
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0 sez "present: no", so gnome's power meter is 
useless.

Anyone else has power management working 100% with an Inspiron? Any magical 
kernel command line voodoo?
