Software for suspend/hibernate and power management?

After working with Arch on my desktop pc for a while, I today installed it on my laptop, as well. Everything works fine so far, but after reading through a lot of articles on the wiki and threads on this board, I'm a little confused about which tools I should use for hibernate/suspend and power management?

Cpufreq-utils, acpid, pm-utils, laptop-mode-tools, etc. What do you recommend for use?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Software for suspend/hibernate and power management?

All that you listed there have different functions. I use all the above on my laptop. Cpufreq-utils enables the frequency scaling, pm-utils (should) enables suspend and/or hibernate, laptop-mode-tools adds some power management functions, etc. Anyways, they're all useful for a laptop. Install, tweak, ask questions

Good luck!

Ok, after some further reading I figured out most of the things I didn't understand, myself. I'll give it a try now. Thanks for your help. I'll ask more questions, if necessary.
