Details
powersaved was replaced by pm-utils some time ago.
However, I see no reason for depreciating powersave. Unlike pm-utils, powersave is a complete power manager which manages: CPU, disk, video, battery profiles.. Afaik pm-utils does none of those, it does suspend/hibernate. Please remove "replaces" in pm-utils. |

I found that powersave was going to be replaced by hal + pm-utils
However, there is no startup script in /etc/rc.d,
no documentation (no howto, nothing in the wiki, not even an install note)
I was unable to get it to work, and didn't find any help on google...
So I'm just going to keep using powersave until the things get better
The latest version upstream available actually depends on pm-utils, so the only thing left in powersaved is the setup of cpufreq on bootup, which can be done from rc.local also (I load my cpufreq module by hand and set governour on both cores with a line in rc.local to achieve the same).
