[mythtv-users] Putting the Computer to sleep (low-power)

[flim]

I must be missing something...  I used to put my laptop (now in silicon  
heaven) into suspend mode all the time.  I was running SuSE 8.1 at the  
time.  I'm pretty sure I've done it with my desktop before now, but never  
had the need.  It's another one of those things that PowersaveD initiates,  
but I'm not sure what other modules are necessary...

Have I got the wrong end of the stick?
