GNOME Power Manager - 0.0.3

GNOME Power Manager is a GNOME session daemon that acts as a policy agent on top of the Project Utopia stack. GNOME Power Manager listens for HAL events and responds with user-configurable reactions.

Today I released a GNOME Power Manager 0.0.3 with lots of bugfixes, new features, a new preferences program and lots more. This new version supports wireless mice and keyboards, pda's and the usual laptop batteries...

The website has been greatly updated and contains lots of new screenshots.

There is a source tarball and Fedora RPM's available here.

Please send comments/patches/questions to the mailing list at gnome-power-devel@lists.sourceforge.net - archives are available here.

The authors of software suspend are working on getting their code merged into the kernel. Once that happens, distros will begin including it, and the average user will simply be able to enable it from the menus (since by that time, gnome-power-manager will probably be included with gnome as well; after all, it is a very new project).

I think the situation is improved a lot: I used to have to recompile my kernel all the time; since I got my laptop in August, I have only used the stock kernels bundled with Debian, which have come far in terms of automatic hardware support.
