Managing brightness and automatic suspend

asked 2013-12-30 19:14:56 +0000

I'm currently using xfce4-power-manager, which isn't reliable enough, neither does it offer enough functions.

I need a program/script to manage my brightness (lower brightness after one minute, shut down the screen after 5) and to enable automatic suspend when I close the lid of my laptop. I don't really need any other functionality. Somebody suggested cron scripts, but I do not have enough knowledge for such things.

Does anybody know of any alternatives?

Have a look at laptop mode tools. The Arch wiki has a good article about it.

Manually compiling the previously mentioned power manager seems to have solved my issues. It can suspend now, and it also offers brightness control.
