Is there an open source project out there dedicated to producing a comprehensive laptop support suite for linux. What I am thinking is there should be an RPM/DEB/ebuild that can be installed that will, with some tweaks for individual laptop configurations, get a linux installation setup to do the following.[list=1][*]Manage power consumption based on power status and battery charge.[*]Allow the laptop to suspend.[*]Allow the laptop to hibernate.[*]Respond to events like lid closures in a configurable way.[*]Basically behave in almost every way like a Windows or Mac laptop.[/list=1]
If there is such a project, I would really like to get involved.

Thanks,

Dana

Well, while not a project; SuSE's latest releases provide all of what you are asking about. Have fun.

Hi all,

I am using FC3.
Are those functions available to FC3? if yes, which package on which repo?
