Title: Power Management
Post by: scottlfa on December 12, 2007, 07:07:46 pm

I am trying to set the behavior of my Z, specifically I want the screen to remain on when plugged in for instance ... and to set the times on the auto suspend and such when on battery power.

Turns out setting the gnome-power-management functions did the trick.

Is there a trick to that?  I tried it and it changes the backlight levels when plugging/unplugging AC power but doesn't suspend on idle...

ok, I must be sacrificing the wrong number of chickens or something then.  oh, well.  gnome-power-statistics is cute though...

anyway, I've come up with a couple of alternatives


this one doesn't need X (just skip the "-s" line).  also check the list of interrupts if you're not using a 3x00.  also see sleepctl

Code: [Select]

sleepd \
 -u 120 \
 -i 75 -i 76 -i 81 -i 98 -i 100 -i 102 -i 103 -i 155 \
 -s "xmessage -buttons abort -default abort -timeout 10 suspending && apm -s"
this one requires X but doesn't need dbus and hal like the gnome thing does

Code: [Select]

xautolock \
 -time 2 \
 -detectsleep \
 -locker "apm | grep 'Off-line' > /dev/null && xmessage -buttons abort -default abort -timeout 10 suspending && apm -s"
