I recently upgraded from Squeeze to Wheezy and at the sam time I upgraded Trinity. I just
realized
that after this upgrade KPowerSave:
a) always indicates that the power cord is plug in, even if it's not;
b) does not show battery level
c) after going into KPowerSave settings display and selecting a power scheme on the first
tabs
display brightness and CPU speed are greyed out and marked as "not supported"
Calling `acpi -b` indicates battery level correctly.
I also notcied that in KControlCenter I can't control brightness in Display settings.
OTOH I can
change display broghtness by using function keys.
I suspect that I might be missing some packages or that permissions might be incorrect.
Thoughts?

Sorry, the way I phrased c) makes it very hard to understand. Here's another attempt:
c) after going into KPowerSave settings and selecting a power scheme on the first tab
"display
brightness" and "CPU speed" are greyed out and marked as "not
supported"
To make things even more mysterious HAL is marked as "enabled". I also looked
at /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf and I don't see anything suspicious there (though
I'm not an
expert on DBus and HAL).
I also found a thread from 2012 where someone reported identical problem:
http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::2964 That problem was not solved back then.
Perhaps
today someone can offer a solution.

That definitly was me :-)
I "solved" it by reinstalling that thinkpad - kind of. In hindsight I am quite
sure that I have to blame NVIDIA for that problem - not the first time :-(
I used an image for (re)installing that notbook. Well, that the image was taken from a
thinkpad with NVIDIA GPU, but that notebook had an ATI. No big deal (usually). I removed
all nvidia stuff and the notebook worked. But kpowersave did not.

Hi Janek,
Which version of TDE do you have installed, 3.5.13.2 or R14?
Thanks!
