Comment 29 for bug 89269

m1330 on Hardy w/latest

after a clean reinstall, my computer is indicating that pm-utils is handling sleep and resume scripts. As well, it is setting a "laptop-mode" hard-drive state via settings in /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/laptop-tools on power state change even though "enable laptop mode" in /etc/default/acpi-support is "false." Further, putting simple hdparm - B scripts in /etc/pm/x.d/ works where it doesn't in /etc/acpi/x.d/ . If this is true, then wouldn't the fix called above and enabling laptop mode tools either be ineffective or put pm-utils and acpi-support in conflict with one-another?

One workaround might be simply to change Valentin Neacsu's script to link to pm-utils locations instead of acpi locations where necessary. Can someone please explain the steps to reproduce this problem? I am unclear since learning that power management actually seems to be occurring via pm-utils vs acpi by default -- at least on my machine. That would explain why putting ugly fixes in /etc/acpi/x.d/ doesn't work.
