Let's say it that way: HAL provides the mechanism, kpowersave the policy. So, kpowersave decides when to do STD/STR, or what happens on button events, and the actual execution is done via HAL call outs. This gives a clear separation between policy and mechanism, which is good. You are now also free to chose whatever powermanagement backend you want for hal (there are acpi-support, hibernate, powersaved-10.x) With kpowersave 0.7.x you can now configure everything from within the gui instead of editing config files and it works much better with other solutions like gnome-power-manager (which also uses HAL). Imo a vast improvement, so stay tuned! Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
