Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Right now, the gnome-power-manager tool has very few options for users to
change. I think that the gnome-power-manager would be much more useful if it
included support for some of these features.
1. Support for power schemes
If gnome-power-manager had power themes, aka "On battery" "On AC" and also
user defined ones, that would be extremely useful. For example, if you're
playing music, you define your music scheme to turn off the screensaver, never
go into standby, and dim the display to zero, that would be so much more
effective than having to manually change all those things everytime you wanted
to listen to music.
2. Support for specific screensaver settings.
I alluded to this in the first point. It would be extremely useful to have
scheme specific screensaver settings for the power-manager. I also think it
would be great if these settings were very user customizable. For example, on
low power, you might only want the screen to blank, or use a low power
screensaver instead of the one you might use on ac power. Also, you might
screensaving totally disabled for "Vdeo mode" or something like that.
3. Configuration for cpu throttle (if supported).
If a computer has the ability to throttle cpu, a user should be able to
specifically configure it in gnome-power-manager. That would also be on a
specific scheme basis.
4. More specific brightness control.
The brightness should be able to be specified directly for each scheme. Also
how long to wait before turning the backlight off entirely.
Well, so there it is. I really like gnome and I think it has the
potential to be very powerful and useful. In my opinion, a great example
of a very useful power manager is the kpowersave utility from KDE 3.5.
If these features are added, I will be extremely happy. Thnak you.
