HAL, KPowersave and Beta1

Tonight I finished my work for the new HAL release. It's out: HAL 0.5.6 and we have this version in the first Beta of SUSE Linux 10.1 (as we always had the actual CVS-HEAD version in our Alphas). I couldn't finished my work on the Tablet PC addon within the deadline because I had also to work on KPowersave release.

I implemented scheme specific brightness settings in KPowersave. Now we need to change powersave to stop changing brightness if KPowersave is connected to prevent double setting brightness with maybe different values.


I also added a big warning message if the user try to switch to "Aggressive Powersave" scheme. By testing this message I had to notice that the DELL D600 I currently use (with preview 3) freezed and powersave died - not really funny if you try to hold the deadline. We really need more users, which test the runtime powermanagement and this new scheme.
