Kpowersave and hald use alot of cpu-time

I having some big problems with Kpowersave (0.7.3-1 from aur) and hald start using around 60% of my cpu-time, and will continue to do so until i restart the Kpowersave process.
This seems to happend randomly, but around every second hour or something.
It also seems like conky for example starts to take more cpu-time (like 10%) at the same time... Suggest that Kpowersave isnt the one to blame?

The computer is a Dell XPS m1330 with a Intel core 2 duo T7500 cpu.

Don't know what more information to supply, and where to start looking. Anyone understand the problem, and have an idea where to start searching?

Excuse my poor english.

Re: Kpowersave and hald use alot of cpu-time

Anyone? This bug makes archlinux almost unusable when on battery.
Haven't seen this behavior in kubuntu, but then, i haven't used i for that long time.

Re: Kpowersave and hald use alot of cpu-time

i would use klaptop-daemon, i'm finding it more usefull and customizable, not quiet a fix for your problem, but using another program would maybe do the trick as well, klaptop-daemon is in the aur repositories

Try kpowersave-svn from AUR, it works quite well for me and I have no problem with it.
