any plan to support this?

It's automatically supported. The 'cpu governor' output just writes the value to the proper file in sysfs.
What kernel version did this appear in?

regarding the init script, how about something like:
| Code: | #!/sbin/runscript
depend() {
use hotplug
need logger
}
start() {
ebegin "Starting powermgr"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/powermgr.pid --exec /usr/bin/powermgr >/var/log/powermgr.log 2>&1
eend $?
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping powermgr"
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/powermgr.pid
eend $?
} |

Hehehe, that's basically what I use. I should make a "nice" one and add it to the package. |

Version 0.0.6 is now out!
It adds support for setting the policy of a speedfreq daemon if you want, setting governor-specific settings in sysfs (in 2.6.12, there will be ignore_nice options for the ondemand and the new conservative governors, to make them not count niced processes as using CPU time, with the result that a niced process will not throttle up the system), and includes an init script. It also adds a check to see if the PID in the lockfile refers to a live process before declaring that there is another powermgr process, much to the delight of anyone who kills powermgr with SIGKILL (i.e., ^C) and has to erase the lockfile.
Get it here: http://thinkinginbinary.dyndns.org/~tom/powermgr.html |

Late last week I found this thread and decided to give 0.0.6 a try, and well, I really like it =P
There is one strange problem that I can't figure out and I really don't have the time to dive into the code atm. Basically, if I goto battery, everything get's set to my battery profile, my wireless card, cpu get's throttled, etc. But, when I go back to ac mode, nothing gets reverted. My CPU is still throttled to 40%, wireless powersave is still on, etc.
To test everything, I've been forcing using the -profile <name> -v to see what's going on. Everything looks okay and it appears to set everything back, but nothing actually does. My /etc/powermgr.conf is basically the default one with the wireless stuff commented out (since I use iwconfig).
Any ideas?
Thanks. |

Can you run powermgr --auto -d10 and post the log? While it's running, plug the AC adapter in and out so I can see what's going on when you do.
By the way, powermgr is now at sourceforge.net, and version 0.0.8 is out. (But don't try it yet, because the debug messages are much less helpful.)
Thanks for your interest in powermgr. I look forward to crushing the bugs you find! ;-) |

Actually I *was* running 0.0.8, but .6 just stuck in my head from a previous post. What I did was just downgrade to .7 (which says .6 as the $version  )
Anyways, I ran the --auto -d10 with the AC plugged in, then I unplugged it, and ran it again, then plugged it back in, and ran powermgr a final time. Below are the results from each.
To be sure I didn't break anything, I ran all of this just after doing a 'make install' with the .7 source.
Thanks,
Mike

Version 0.0.10 is now out!
You can get it at Sourceforge. It now includes multiple battery support! (Reilly, this means you have to try it now!)

UPDATE: There is now an ebuild for powermgr at the SourceForge page. In the "Download" section there is a link to the ebuild and an explanation of how to install it and what USE flags to use.
The ebuild takes several use flags:
- General USE flags:
- acpi - Ensures sys-power/acpid is installed.
- wireless - Ensures net-wireless/wireless-tools is installed.
- speedfreq - Ensures sys-power/speedfreq is installed.
- Hardware-specific USE flags:
- There is no Asus use flag yet because Toshiba laptop support is entirely kernel-based.
- dell - Ensures app-laptop/i8kutils is installed. (Use on Dell laptops.)
- ibm - Ensures app-laptop/ibm-acpi is installed. (Use on IBM laptops.)
- omnibook - Ensures app-laptop/omnibook is installed. (Use on Omnibook laptops.)
- There is no Toshiba use flag yet because Toshiba laptop support is entirely kernel-based.
- ipw2200 - Ensures net-wireless/ipw2200 is installed. (Use on laptops with Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 card, e.g. most newer Centrino brand laptops)
Unfortunately, due to a combination of laziness and sloth on my part and impatience on Estariel's part ;-) it doesn't yet check to ensure you have the right kernel modules, and it installs all the inputs and outputs regardless of whether you use them. (They're tiny files anyway, it's not a big deal.)
Please try the ebuild, see if it works--maybe powermgr can be in Portage some day! |
