hi there, on fedora10 with hal 0.5.12-14 i'm trying to get some powersaving settings changed when the psu is connected/disconnected to my acer aspire one laptop. i have written the script that sets these powersaving options and i have saved it in /usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-aao-powertweaks then i created the file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/30-aaopowertweaks.fdi with the contents
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="ac_adaptor.present" bool="true"> <append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">/usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-aao-powertweaks</append> </match> </device>
<device> <match key="ac_adaptor.present" bool="false"> <append key="info.callouts.remove" type="strlist">/usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-aao-powertweaks</append> </match> </device> </deviceinfo>
and re-booted but it doesn't work. can anyone point a relative linux newb in the right direction to get this working
thanks in advance phil
