HAL can use whatever script backend is available, just take a look /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-power-* E.g. if you install acpi-support, hibernate or powersaved, it will be used automatically. I don't think we need a configuration file for that. Just install the backend you want to use and be done with it. Could you elaborate a bit more why you think something like this would be necessary? Cheers, Michael P.S: Beginning with hal-0.5.9, pm-utils will be the "officially blessed" pm backend. Other distros already switched to pm-utils. Imo we should jump on the band wagon and work on proper integration of pm-utils instead of supporting a plethora of different script backends which work more or less. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
