This makes me wonder if my laptops knack for "Hanging" when relying on powerd, may in part be due to ULE, rather then just some kind of ACPI problem. In one incarnation or another, I've been using ULE on my systems for ages, even before the 'new' one became standard issue, and the problems been on/off, but more so since the heavy work on ULE.


Thanks for the interesting news J65nko.
