on compaq laptop with fully charge battery, if I remove the power cord, both the mouse and the keyboard lock. there is still a display, but you have to power down and boot with the cord to recover. If you boot without the cord, you get the login display with locked keyboard and mouse.
This is a laptop so I pretty well need to have the ability to use it on battery.
version = isadora, hware = amd64 . laptop basically new, has worked properly in the past.
If you know of anything I can try, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

This issue has to do with software, not hardware, since it works just fine when booting from the CD. Something has gone whack in the power management sphere, notably when doing things like automatic screen dimming when going to battery, or accessing battery information when on battery. The power management interface has about 3 moving parts, and whatever is at play here doesn't seem to be one of them.

Re: Going to battery power locks mouse, keyboard
One place to check, based on my experience with a locked out touchpad, is xml files in ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals There should be subfolders for keyboard and mouse. If there are any entries regarding AC power, look for wording as "true" or "false" Another place to look would be ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-power-manager
