It works really fine here (finally, selecting CPU scaling schemes works again in KPowersave). The only thing, that bugged me was after installing it, a lot of daemons* crashed because hald did an autoreload because of it's inotify feature to reload rules as soon as there are changes to it's rules files. *daemons/applications that crashed: dbus powersaved -> KPowersave Networkmanager -> KNetworkmanager Also, the new hald didn't want to start, because dbus had crashed because of the auto-hald-reload. So we need to prevent this before it goes stable: a) print out a big fat warning before doing the update / make the update interactive, so we make sure, the user knows about the dangers b) find a way, to postpone the reload until the next reboot / disable auto-reloading for the currently running session This were the only problems I could find so far. What I really liked about the update: didn't have to re-emerge (revdep-rebuild) a single package.. ;-) Regards, Elias P.
