Well, the pm-utils are only used to go into (and later restore from) powersaving mode (s2ram or s2disk), but not for activating them. If you are using kpowersave, it will further use hal which will forward the request via triggering pm-utils. > In summary, /etc/pm/config.d, sleep,d, and power.d are all empty.

Have you had a look at http://en.opensuse.org/Pm-utils ?

As long as you only want to use suspend to disk this is fine, you don't need s2ram-support to be able to use suspend to disk. > I looked at /var/log/pm-suspend.log, and all I can confidently > understand is that it went to hibernation at 15:07 Saturday, which more > or less matches my recollection.

Those instructions and setting will only tell what to do on s2disk, but not when to activate it. > I really would like to get my laptop's powersave working correctly > again.

I am not quite sure i understand your problem regarding the suspend triggering. First i thought you were having the problem that nothing is triggered at all, but now i have the impression that you try to say you had a suspend to disk without any obvious reasons. But regarding the all-greyed-out kpowersave i would guess there is a problem with the services it depends on (dbus, hal, policykit). Have you tried restarting those?
