Package: acpi-support Version: 0.133-2 Severity: normal Hi,
Normally /etc/acpi/power.sh gets called when I plug in or unplug my laptop's power adapter. Thus, I have edited the script to dim my screen when the laptop is running on battery power. (In the good old days this was done in hardware. Ah well.) If, however, I am using the laptop at my desk, put it in standby mode, unplug it, carry it with me somewhere else, and then turn it on again on battery power, the system does not "notice" (so to speak) that it has been unplugged, so the screen remains at full brightness. Since actual ACPI events will obviously not be generated while the system is on standby, I think the system should check what the power state is when it is turned on again and run /etc/power.sh if the state has changed. Alternatively, please provide a script that is run when the system is powered on from standby so that I can copy my script to dim the screen there. Thanks for your consideration.
