I don't have the context of you previous e-mail, so my answer is just biased by what I use, which is NO desktop environment at all, also notice, it's a matter of taste most of the time... So what I install is: acpi acpitool acpid acpi-support-base laptop-mode-tools cpufrequtils cpufreqd lm-sensors sensord I do suspend to RAM through "acpitool -s" and suspend to disk through "acpitool -S", so I don't need any other suspending solution... laptop-detect is a dependency for some of those I mentioned, so I didn't include it. I believe acpi-support-base is also a dependency, so probably I shouldn't have included it, but well, I'm not sure. acpi-fakekey is a dependency for acpi-support, so if you include acpi-support, the other will be installed. acpi-support is nice specially if one doesn't have a desktop environment, and wants some buttons and keys support, but I found it too bloated for my taste, and I do things through commands or menu entries in fluxbox, so I don't really need it, and besides some of the stuff doesn't even work for me. But you might want to use it fi it provides something to you... I'm not sure about power button application you included, but perhaps if you have acpi-support, you won't need it. Sounds like they overlap, not sure if can coexist. I've never used power button. acpidump is just if you're in need to print out acpi tables. I never had the need, :-) -- Javier. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
