TODO

GNOME power management

g-p-m uses DeviceKit-power now, but backlight handling still require hal when the backlight is not a xrandr device. All the X drivers need to support XBACKLIGHT before we can turn it off completely. Intel do, nouveau sortof does, so we could disable HAL in g-p-m using a #ifdef if we're sure the drivers support backlight -> You can use --enable-hal=no at compilation time. See upstream bug

xfce4-power-manager

The upstream author reports that his devkit-power branch is almost ready but doesn't want to merge it because devkit is apparently being renamed (ie. udisk, upower, etc.)
