That's okay for me. Are there any efforts in that direction already?
gnome-power-manager perhaps?
Yeah, see the archives of the hal list over the past month or two.
BTW, managing whitelists and "lists with required workarounds
for
certain laptops" really sounds like something to me that needs to be
handled somewhere "upstream" -- otherwise each distro would have to
manage its own lists and that wastes a lot of man-power without a real
benefit afaics...
*nod* This is part of why pm-utils has moved to fdo and there's a list
there. The nice thing about handling the quirking with HAL is that you
can describe the quirks needed just with an FDI file. And in a utopian
future, perhaps vendors will distribute FDI files for their hardware
describing the quirks they need[1]
