The default configuration for EVENT_DAEMON_START is "ignore". This means that anything not handled by the front end will not be properly configured when powersaved starts. In my case, while the brightness is set correctly by kpowersave, the power management of my disk drive is not configured to the level specified in the performance schema even though I started powersaved when my laptop was on AC power.
To verify the behavior, stop powersaved, hdparm -B 1 /dev/hda, verify with hdparm -I /dev/hda, start powersaved, verify with hdparm -I /dev/hda. Changing EVENT_DAEMON_START to "reread_cpu_capabilities" resolves the issue. -andre. _______________________________________________ powersave-devel mailing list powersave-devel@forge.novell.com http://forge.novell.com/mailman/listinfo/powersave-devel
