I am sure it is something very obvious, yet I can't seem to find a way to configure the powermanagement in openSUSE 10.3. YaST is missing the power-management module and in KPowersave all options are 'greyed out'.
Any pointers?
What hardware are you using? How have you configured your BIOS options? Here's just one tiny example of how sensitive the power management features are to the hardware configuration: I have Core 2 Duo E6700 (nominal 2.66 GHz using a 266 x10 clock) installed in an ASUS P5B Deluxe. If you enable CPU clock multiplier control, the Intel Enhanced SpeedStep (EIST) option goes away and KPowersave cannot give you control over the "CPU Frequence Policy." If you don't enable C1E ("enhanced stop state") other power management capabilities are unavailable. And this is just for this CPU family. "It's all very complicated."
