Hi,

i have a Basic Question. What is happenning on a Linux Notebook when i disconnect mains power and switch to battery?
I mean which skripts are running? who checks the state? Who changes the powermanagement profile?

Which desktop environment are you using? What is not working for you?

KDE3 uses kpowersave frontend (via powersaved)
KDE4 uses PowerDevil
Not sure about Gnome, as I don't use it (but it does have its own power management app).

They depend on information provided by HAL (hald-addon-acpi).
