One other quick question.. What happens when the LCD display is turned off.. I've come across one more thing that I need to work around.. Everything works well,except when the display is turned off, but the laptop is not suspended.. In this case when the display comes back on the LCD brightness is pretty much max and the brightness applet does not work..

Running my brightness script fixes it again.. But how do I get it to run automatically when the LCD is powered down?

When is the test day again?

Feel free to share. Also don't forget to attend Fedora 19
power management test day :). It will be interesting to compare
the results with others. This time we will try to focus
more on video cards power savings. There is placeholder
wiki [1] (will be reworked before the event).

It seems we do not have optimal defaults in Fedora and the test
day may also help to improve this. There are many aggressive
(generally unsafe) tunings that may lower the power consumption
(sometimes significantly). Feel free to send me output of
# dmesg
and html from
# powertop --html
for detailed analysis. I can propose some more aggressive tunings
for you
