Interesting, let's see,
>From
http://old-en.opensuse.org/Pm-utils
"pm-utils is the new suspend and powerstate setting framework. It is
usually used by HAL to execute the various hacks. . . Both pm-suspend and
pm-hibernate are usually called from HAL, initiated by desktop applets as
gnome-power-manager or kpowersave... "
From
http://wiki.debian.org/Suspend
"A key package for Lenny's power management is HAL (hal)which watches for
ACPI events. . . The package pm-utils is a package of power management
software. It stands between HAL and actually suspending the system..."
So, what's the latest update on this?
Thanks
