Bug#629418: nvidia-glx: PowerMizer doesn't detect change in power source

Package: nvidia-glx
Version: 270.41.19-1
Severity: normal

I have set up nvidia's PowerMizer to use different profiles on mains and battery power as documented at http://tutanhamon.com.a/technovodstvo/NVIDIA-UNIX-driver/ , however according to nvidia-settings the laptop is always on mains power, even when it's actually running off the battery:

> $ nvidia-settings -q GPUPowerSource -t
> 0

I noticed that OpenSUSE running on the same laptop detects the power source correctly, so might this have something to do withpackaging? Looks like I have 260.19.44 installed on openSUSE and 270.41.19 on this debian system.
