| + | ====== Xfce Power Manager devicekit-power and upower release ====== | ||
| + | {{:blog:xfce_logo.png?84x84 }} Today --- //2010/02/02 11:55// The first [[http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/hal|HAL]] free beta version of Xfce Power Manager is out, the new version uses [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeviceKit|DeviceKit Power]] to get information about power devices, and also it uses [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeviceKit|DeviceKit Disks]] to spin down the hard disks when running on battery power. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Since [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeviceKit|DeviceKit Power]] does not have a brightness back-light support like what [[http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/hal|HAL]] had, the brightness support is handled via xrandr, an optional compile time flag was added to enable [[http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/hal|HAL]] brightness fallback in case xrandr failed to manage the back-light panel | ||
| + | |||
| + | This release was supposed to go in public by the beginning of 2010, but a stupid decision of renaming [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeviceKit|DeviceKit Power]] to UPower and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeviceKit|DeviceKit Disks]] UDisks delayed the release a bit, since the bus name and services name have been changed, now with this version, Xfce Power Manager will automatically detects the correct D-Bus name to use. | ||
