Power management without X.
Hello. I was wondering if anyone knew how to go about setting up power management from the command line? Like adjusting brightness when ac adapter is plugged/unplugged, changing cpu profiles, suspend on lid close, etc. without having to use something like kpowersave and gnome-power-manager.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Re: Power management without X.
hal? laptop-mode? I don't do much power management on my system, but I think all the necessary daemons and stuff aren't tied to X at all.

That stuff I know of. I'm talking about suspend, screen brightness dimmer, etc.

Re: Power management without X.
I don't know much details but you have scripts in /etc/acpi/actions/ which run in repsonse to conditions set by /etc/acpi/events/ There should be some stuff in there just from laptop-mode-tools. The only thing I ever did was add a line to run pm-suspend with a lid close, but I imagine you could get more sophisticated if you work at it.

Re: Power management without X.
The main problem I'm having is how to get my laptop to recognize when the AC adapter has been unplugged, and change accordingly. Is there a guide for this?

$ cat /etc/acpi/handler.shCheck out the acpid daemon and wiki. It can do pretty much everything you're looking for, as can the laptop-mode tools.
