What model computer do you have? In YDL2, at least, the iBook 2 isn't
recognized by /etc/power/pwrctl.
When I plug or un-plug power, or put it to sleep and wake it back up, I
got messages like this logged in /var/log/messages:
Oct 29 05:39:43 delerium pmud[318]: running /etc/power/pwrctl minimum battery
Oct 29 05:39:43 delerium pwrctl: no function for PMU 12
Oct 29 05:39:46 delerium pmud[318]: running /etc/power/pwrctl maximum ac
Oct 29 05:39:46 delerium pwrctl: no function for PMU 12
I fixed this by adding PMU 12 to /etc/power/pwrctl:
On line 192, add "12" into the list of matches for pwrctl_G3.
I was just guessing that the settings for the powerbook G3 are a better
choice than the 3400.
Is that fixed in YDL 2.1? It might be a nice thing to add to YUP if not.
I also notice that pmud always calls that script with "minimum" when I
pull the power cord out, even if the battery is fully charged. Do folks
with other notebooks find that it does the right thing, or is this a pmud
problem?
