New laptop, installed Debian Wheezy AMD64, which is Debians current testing branch and TDE 3.5.14 from nightly builds., built for Wheezy.
TDE is working well here. Since this is a laptop install I want to usekpowersave. I get the kpowersave icon in my systray but there is no inormation or options available when I right click on the icon.
Package info suggests it supports ACPI, APM and PMU, screensaver, DPMS, among others.
Any info on what apps TDE has available to manage or show laptop specific items would be appreciated.
Thanks

Do you have HAL installed? Is HAL running?
There is another application I wrote to directly interact with the new TDE hardware library (bypassing HAL altogether), but it does not have a Debian/Ubuntu package available from the nightly builds yet. Sources are here: http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/kpowersave-nohal/

hald was not running, but it is installed via hal-trinity metapackage. I can manually start it and kpowersave now has some configurable options.
hald is not getting added to any run levels,
Debian uses rcS.d for 'Boot-time system configuration/initialization script'
rc2.d - rc5.d are multiuser
default runlevel is rc2.d

I'd file a bug against the upstream Debian hal package: http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/hal
hal-trinity is just a metapackage that requires hal as you are aware, so the issue with HAL not starting is not a TDE-specific problem.
That being said, be advised that HAL is deprecated and may not be included for much longer. If possible, please try the new kpowersave-nohal application and report any bugs you experience when using it so that the HAL-->udev transition will go more smoothly in the future.
Thanks!

Thanks for the info.
I will wait for kpowersave-nohal to enter the repo, then test it.
