There is a problem somewhere with HAL. You can try posting on the openSUSE forums, just mentioning HAL (not KDE 3.5), since HAL is sometimes needed also for other applications not just KDE 3.5. In the mean time, you can still hibernate or suspend your computer by entering "powersave" or "powersave -U" on the commandline. There is also an alternative to kpowersave that uses upowerd instead of HAL, batti-gtk: http://code.google.com/p/batti-gtk/ It's fun but not all the functionality of kpowersave. The problem is with HAL and not with KDE 3.5, so maybe you can find the answer on a HAL-related forum? But, sorry, I'm just a user like you, not a developer, so don't take my word. Good luck!
