Can not start X when the laptop boots from battery

Hi,

I have just found out recently that X doesn't start when i boot my laptop from battery. After the daemons are run, X is started and then shows me a blank black screen. Ctrl-Alt-Del or Ctrl-Alt-Backspace don't work. And i can't change tty like Ctrl-Alt-F1 to escape to the console. It just hangs.

When power cable is plugged then the laptop works just fine. Even if i pull the cable out afterwards, it continues working on battery mode.

What can be the reason ? Has anyone the same problem ?
