Fair enough, I'm like that as well. But we still do not have such thing, it's not hard to do (if you want to help...), but we're low on manpower resources. I'd like to have the infra like kde does to enable one to set different rules regarding power management, then some simpler ui (as kde's is verrrrryyyy complex). Rules could be things like "on power, enable all cpus, speed up hd, turn on bluetooth, wifi, ..." and "on battery, disable all but one cpu, make hd slower, turn off bluetooth and wifi if they're not in use..." Some of these things are easy to do and are almost there, some are more complex (specially networking and cpus). As I really think this will not be done until e17 is out, I'd recommend you doing acpid event listeners in /etc/acpi/, you can write simple shell scripts to do that. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: barbi...@gmail.com Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
