Open Source Power management - Gnome Power Manager (MYOSS)
MYOSS magazine is running
an article on the Gnome Power Manager by
lead developer Richard Hughes.
"Power management in Linux sucks. Depending if you are running a PPC or i386 PC the different power management facilities are vastly different. To get your machine to suspend on lid press is already possible, but is difficult to know what config files to modify. To get your LCD screen brightness set to 50% when you remove the AC Adapter of your laptop is probably possible with a clever little Perl script, but is not something that comes ready configured on a standard Linux distro. Any of these things need the user to become the super-user to do the action. This needs to change before Linux is accepted as a contender for the corporate desktop."
