Re: LEDs, gnome-power-manager, and ThinkPads

I gave up on the "one size fits all" power management utilities for my
T23 and went back to my scripts. I did learn enough that I retained
the uswsusp package and use its s2disk utility. I also use powernowd
and KDE's battery monitor.

My script is 100% reliable suspending to RAM while the various other
utilities were not. I do think that the T23 is old enough that it
doesn't support ACPI all that well even with BIOS updates. So my
manual scripts work well with it.

Thanks for the feedback. Under APM, I had custom scripts as well (see
http://www.newt.com/debian/thinkpad-t40p/), but I find that now under
ACPI I'm really close to not having to maintain that stuff myself.

Maybe I should submit feature request to the hal package...
