Take a look at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pm-utils/log/?h=powersave-hooks I toyed around with adding more powersave scripts to pm-utils back in 2008, but there was a general lack of interest at the time. If Ubuntu is looking at adding more default powersaving scripts, it is probaably time to resurrect things. If y'all want to work on merging your powersave scripts with pm-utils, we should be able to work something out. :) > What I noticed is that the scheduling policies conflict with the > sched-powersave policy in pm-utils.

Well, if the policy was in general more complicated than "save as much battery life as we can while still beig useful" it might make sense to split it out. The only knobs I would offer by default would be ones that would either always run with powersaving enabled or disabled while ignoring powersave state changes -- if people want to tweak how individual powersave hooks work, pm-utils makes it very easy for them to drop in a hook that overrides the ones we ship by default. > Thanks, > > -- Chase > > > > _______________________________________________ > Pm-utils mailing list > Pm-utils@lists.freedesktop.org > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pm-utils -- Victor Lowther LPIC2 UCP RHCE _______________________________________________ Pm-utils mailing list Pm-utils@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pm-utils
