I searched for PowerDevil and none exists even in Debian's apt-cache
search. I have never heard of it before either.

Well I did put a ? indicating if that I was not certain of the name.

PowerDevil is the name of the power management software under KDE4.

Ah, sorry. I missed your question mark. I was posting at 2:25 AM PDT.


KDE3.5 uses a program called kpowersave.

http://packages.debian.org/search?ke... l&section=all
as well.

$ locate kpowersave
$ locate powersave
/etc/smartmontools/run.d/10powersave-notify
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_powersave.ko
/usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/intel-audio-powersave

/usr/share/man/man8/pm-powersave.8.gz
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686/include/config/cpu/freq/gov/powersave.h

I installed it and it looks like this is mainly for laptops/notebooks
and Xscreesaver already does my monitor to sleep:
