There appears to have been some progress on this bug. powersaved now
responds to Fn+F4. It seems to get the event from HAL (when I stop hal,
powersaved no longer responds). Wow, is the future really here?? No,
things are still badly broken:
- Fn+F4 suspends to disk, not ram.
- Fn+F12 does nothing.
- In /etc/powersave/events, there appears to be only one event
(EVENT_BUTTON_SLEEP) we can respond to.
- Have they never heard of separate sleep and hibernate buttons?
- Where are the events even documented? (nowhere!)
- In /etc/powersave/events, the possible actions appear to be
suspend_to_disk and suspend_to_ram.
- Have they never heard of the most useful hybrid (aka s2both) mode?
- Is there any setting to use hybrid mode for suspend? (no, it goes
through HAL, and HAL offers no such configurability)
- Digging through powersave_manual.txt.gz reveals several instances of
the string "novell", which pretty much explains all of the above.
