Hi,
some hints, which may help.
There are some commands, all starting with pm- (pm=PowerManagment):
pm-hibernate
pm-powersave
pm-restart
pm-shutdown
pm-suspend
They can be executed from a shell or you can create any icon on your
desktop or use kde menu editor to add an icon to your KDE menu.
Further, in the KDE Panel you should see the Klaptop icon (near lower
right corner of the taskbar. It is either a battery, if you are on
battery, or a plug). Right click on this icon and you get a menu with
"Lock & Suspend" "Suspend" "Lock & Hibernate" and "Hibernate".
In the KDE Control Center: KDE -> Control Center -> Power Control ->
Laptop Battery. You can configure Klaptop. For example, define what
should happen, if you close the lid of your laptop (see Button Actions).
I installed it from the SL5 LiveCD (2007-05-18, not the final one), and i
t
works great since then.
Good to know.
Cheers,
Urs
