hi Jon. i put the file into /etc/hal/fdi/information/ , restarted dbus, and voila, it worked! thanks for the tip. i'm still curious about you being able to run the command ``hal-stop-polling'' though, as it's simply not available to me. after implementing this change, did you notice much of a change in your laptop's power consumption? i watched PowerTOP's output for a couple of minutes before and after disabling polling and didn't see any change at all. my 15" MBP C2D hovers around 29.3 to 30.6W . -Nick ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
