kpowersave is not included in openSUSE. What do you use kpowersave for?

???? I installed it with the KDE3 repo. Also, KPowersave is what we use to tell battery life remaining/charge state & it is also used to suspend to disk or RAM. I had it running fine with 12.2 on this same laptop. At the moment I have nothing in the taskbar to give me this info. As for suspend, as I said ealier, this Thinkpad is new enough where closing the lid suspends, & it works with no problems. It's a T60p, Core Duo 2.13Ghz, 7 years old. My A30p never did that properly. It's about 11 years old & Pentium 3 Tualatin 1.2Ghz. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

I find it usefull to for example quickly set the laptop to presentation mode, so that the screen saver does not come on during a presentation. G On Mon, 25 Mar 2013, Larry Stotler wrote:

Suspend/hybernate should work from the K-menu (or kickoff if you use it).

So the only function of kpowersave is a charge indicator?

It also has support for cpu freq, setting active schemes, etc. The link shows a lot more info about it. It's been there forever basically, so it's something I've become accustomed to having available.
