GNOME Power Manager is a session daemon that takes care of power management.

GNOME Power Manager uses information provided by HAL to display icons and handle system and user actions in a GNOME session. Authorised users can set policy and change preferences.

Latest Version: 0.0.5
Wow, lots of changes. PDA support, totally re-written backend and lots of architectural changes. Icons now generated on the fly, logging improved. Events now configuable, code tidied up. Please test so I can release 0.0.6 which will be the next stable version.

Looks good

Seems all fine and good, except that it doesn't suspend my machine. I've got no idea why. Anyway, good job.

See http://gnome-power.sf.net/ - you have to put your suspend command into gconf for now.

I can't believe it. I was *just* thinking how badly I (and gnome) needed this for laptops in particular.

cool.

LCD's

I'm just adding support for LCD brightness. Unfortunatly laptops differ in this - so I'm knocking a quick script until I get round to writing a proper HAL addon. If you can help, please join the mailing list and tell me what you think.

Cheers, Richard.
