Now that I have my desk sorted in my new flat i’ve begun to use my wireless mouse again. I was pleasantly surprised to see that gnome-power-manager (through HAL) gave me battery statistics on my mouse. Cute. So in the next major release I expect it to warn me when *my* energy levels are running low and suggest I take in a caffeine fix.
GNOME power manager strikes again!
is it possible to make gnome-power-manager use the uswsusp binaries to suspend?
Which version of GNOME is that? I’m guessing it doesn’t ship with Debian Sarge?
davide, no idea. I’m not a g-p-m developer. Just a happy user.
Matthew, it’s 2.17.4. I’m dogfooding via Feisty.
Eek, fuzzy! What distro is this? It should be using this - http://jimmac.musichall.cz/wipicons/PowerManager/16×16/battery-discharging-100.png
Jakub, robster said in the comment before yours that is was Feisty, which is the Ubuntu development branch.
Heh, thanks Rob. Wait and see what happens when the battery runs low…
