Yeah... There is just one problem: hdapsd does not need that udev rule since 1:20090401-1, because it now can (and does) detect the input interface by itself.
% sudo hdapsd -t Thu Dec 9 00:22:14 2010: Dry run, will not actually park heads or freeze queue. Thu Dec 9 00:22:14 2010: Starting hdapsd Thu Dec 9 00:22:14 2010: WARNING: You did not supply any devices to protect, trying autodetection. Thu Dec 9 00:22:14 2010: Adding autodetected device: sda Thu Dec 9 00:22:14 2010: Selected interface: HDAPS Thu Dec 9 00:22:15 2010: Selected HDAPS input device: /dev/input/event9 The last line tells you it uses the input interface. If it would not be able to do so, you would see WARNING: Could not find hdaps input device (No such file or directory). You may be using an incompatible version of the hdaps module. Falling back to reading the position from sysfs (uses more power). Is this failling for you? If not, I'd close this bug as invalid asap :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/687282 Title: hdapsd drains unnecessary power polling /sys -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
