All, I have recently finished a initial conversion of kpowersave to work without HAL, instead relying on the brand-new TDE hardware library, which in turn works straight off of the raw device nodes in /sysfs. As this is the last remaining large HAL dependency in TDE, I would encourage the TDE developers to compile and test on their hardware, reporting bugs to this mailing list. The source code is available here: http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/kpowersave-nohal/ and can be obtained via: git clone http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/kpowersave-nohal If this works reliably, along with the udev-based media kioslave:/, I will seriously consider removing the TDE HAL dependency completely for R14.0.
