Package: acpi-support (0.90-4)

scripts for handling many ACPI events

This package contains scripts to react to various ACPI events. It only includes scripts for events that can be supported with some level of safety cross platform.

It is able to: 

 * Detect loss and gain of AC power, lid closure, and the press of a
   number of specific buttons (on Asus, IBM, Lenovo, Panasonic, Sony
   and Toshiba laptops).
 * Suspend, hibernate and resume the computer, with workarounds for
   hardware that needs it.
 * Handle laptop-mode (spinning down the harddrive when running on
   battery).
 * On some laptops, set screen brightness.
