GNOME Power Manager is a GNOME session daemon that acts as a policy agent on top of the Project Utopia stack, which includes the kernel, hotplug, udev, and HAL. Currently it supports UPS's, laptop batteries and AC adaptors. Its goal is to be architecture neutral and free of polling and other hacks.
GNOME Power Manager now has a home: http://gnome-power.sourceforge.net I've pushed files to the CVS (which should be available soon, details on website) and I have a release 0.0.2 available on sourceforge, which currently: * Displays battery status of laptop batteries, UPS's and (soon to be) wireless mice and keyboards. * Displays presence of AC Adapter * Has preliminary EVENT ACTION's coded in, soon this will move to a D-BUS interface for other applications to use. * Is architecture neutral. i.e. works in APM, ACPI, and PMU. N.B. APM and PMU do not auto-update yet due to the refresh code not yet being present in HAL, this is being discussed and rectified. N.B. Unless you use ACPI (or want to use your UPS), you'll have to use HAL from CVS. Please could you have a look at send me any comments or ideas.
