Please review these settings

I'm running Arch here on several machines, really lovin' it ( though very time-consuming to set up things )..
I've been tinkering around with power-settings on my little asus 1005HA-H netbook.

I think I've got a good setup now, however I'm wondering if anyone could be so kind to check on my suspend and hibernate settings:

-- had acpid and gnome-power-manager installed -- removed those. ( Is there any value in keeping these?? )

-- installed and configured pm-utils and powernowd -- used the wiki's ( no hassle here )

-- using sudo pm-suspend and sudo pm-hibernate to initiate powering down

I made a little script ( well stole the commands from another topic ) to access and restart my wireless:

#!/bin/sh

modprobe -r ndiswrapper
modprobe ndiswrapper
/etc/rc.d/wicd restart

echo "internetten"

Can you guys live with this thingie ( never made scripts before.....)

Thanks!!!!

Oh...things are working properly, am just wondering if there's any modification needed..

Acpi is pretty critical (unless it breaks your box, then it's another issue), i'd keep power management if I were you.

Thanks..however is that acpid or acpi, as it's 2 different packages?

A

pacman -Qi

on both packages should tell you something about them, and if not, there's always google smile.

Yeah, Google is always there..but not when wanting to know about the more obscure..
It's basically about the differences 'tween acpi, acpid ( the daemon, I know..), and the use on the gnome frontend, or in conjunction with pm-utils, cpu-freq, powernowd..
The wiki's , as good as they are, are not conclusive on comparing the different techniques.

However, I installed above tools on an other laptop and got that one running suspend and hibernation too..
So I'm basically happy, thanks!
