You may want to sync Mageia's pm-utils package with the changes in Debian's package. They have some interesting patches, and did some good testing (with Ubuntu) of settings, which result in more efficient battery savings. For example: * Add 26-inhibit-on-right-status.patch: Do not use the exit status of log rather the exit status of the hook thereby allowing inhibit to work. Thanks to Ariel Cornejo for the patch! (LP: #665651, Closes: #633147) * Add 01_xfs_buffer_arguments.patch: pm/power.d/xfs_buffer: Fix wrong argument ordering. Thanks to Andre Draszik for the patch! (LP: #645974) * debian/rules: Remove the journal-commit and readahead scripts. Recent measurements have shown that they do not save any power in different workloads on rotary disks, and in fact increase power usage on SSD. (fd.o #44627, LP: #900923) This also avoids bugs caused by the journal-commit script. (Closes: #625606, LP: #891688) * Add debian/power.d/{pci_devices,usb_bluetooth}: Set USB bluetooth to autosuspend and a safe subclass of PCI devices to low-power mode during powersafe mode. (fd.o #44672, LP: #911325) * Add debian/patches/03-fix-alpm-typo.patch: Fix typo in sata_alpm hook. (fd.o #44676, LP: #900930) * debian/rules: Stop install hal-cd-polling. hal has been obsolete for years, so don't waste cycles for checking for hal. (LP: #898564) * debian/rules: Stop installing sleep.d/49bluetooth, it is not necessary any more with current Linux kernels. (Closes: #623750) Complete changelog: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/p/pm-utils/pm-utils_1.4.1-9/changelog The Debian Patches and additional power.d files and other stuff can be found here: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/pm-utils/pm-utils_1.4.1-9.debian.tar.gz
