In an earlier Fedoras (FC1?) there was a laptop mode. That seems to be gone from FC3. But, I've noticed that there are now scripts to control the 2.6 kernel params. (http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsamwel/laptop_mode/index.html)
Is this stuff somewhere in FC3? I've been hunting around and couldn't find an RPM, and it looks like controls are only via installing the scripts manually or by directly tweaking /proc/acpi. Am I missing something?
BTW: Things have definately been getting better with recent rawhides. I now can pretty much suspend and resume my (Dell Inspiron 4100) notebook 10 times before something freezes the screen (much better than the screen corruption I was getting practically every time I tried with FC3T2). The Synaptics touchpad tapping and scrolling as well as the mouse stick both work -- first time ever with any Fedora).
