What control over laptop power configurations does SuSE-8.0 provide, and where do I set them? I'm talking about things like hard drive spindown after unused periods, etc. I can't find anything in this regard. -- There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary, and those who don't

The monitor controls are partly BIOS and partly KDE. Standby and suspend sorts of things are apmd. My laptop hard disk has fine grain power control which is set by an IBM utility. I can set the coarse grain "spin up" and "spin down" sort of stuff in hdparm. Bit of a mess really... -- There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary, and those who don't
