I'm running 12.10 with xmonad.

Trying to ensure that the right things happen when I close laptop lid, etc. I see Internet search results for similar issues that mostly point towards gnome-power-manager. I have the package installed, but gnome-power-manager is not in my path anywhere.

The behavior I'm looking for is as following:

  • Sleep on lid close
  • Awaken on lid open
  • Turn off screen after 10 idle minutes
  • Most importantly, have better battery life. I'm supposed to be getting 9 hours and I haven't seen the battery life estimate above 2.5 hours yet.

Any tips on where to look or how to configure this would be much appreciated.
