energy saving...

hello... so im playing around with powersaving utils like acpi and cpufreq and powersave, but im wondering if on a desktop do i need acpid, and as for cpu scaling, does it matter if i use cpufreq or powersaved. i tried both and seem to work fine. and as for my DAEMONS= i was wondering if i have them in the right order, though things seems to be fine, except for the one issue i can't seem to solve, which is when i leave my system over night or longer there's a hiccup in the system that i can only notice when playing music.

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng crond acpid dbus hal cpufreq ifplugd !dhcdbd !networkmanager proftpd portmap hplip cups)

thx...

Re: energy saving...

I noticed you don't have alsa in DAEMONS line, Maybe something to look into

Re: energy saving...

Re: energy saving...

That alsa script (/etc/rc.d/alsa), iirc, saves your volume levels and such.  Just an FYI
