Slimlock configuration
on a macbook air 4,2 i could not get the suggested configuration for slimlock on lid close to work:
DISPLAY=:0.0 su -c - username /usr/bin/slimlock
i had to use:
su -s $USERNAME /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/slimlock"
(suggested complimentary configuration)
Screen Brightness
I had no luck with a screen brightness step of 1, in acpi handler. Adding these clauses to handler.sh works better.
video/brightnessdown) bl_dev=/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 actual_bl=`cat $bl_dev/actual_brightness` # Lower brightness has no effect until it is lowered enough to change actual_brightness. # Brightness less than 10 causes problems when increasing! while [ $actual_bl -gt 10 -a $actual_bl == `cat $bl_dev/actual_brightness` ] do echo $((`cat $bl_dev/brightness` - 1)) > $bl_dev/brightness done ;; video/brightnessup) bl_dev=/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 actual_bl=`cat $bl_dev/actual_brightness` # Change in brightness has no effect until it is changed enough to change actual_brightness. while [ $actual_bl -lt 100 -a $actual_bl == `cat $bl_dev/actual_brightness` ] do echo $((`cat $bl_dev/brightness` + 1)) > $bl_dev/brightness done ;;

Banner to warn users that logind already implements some of these tips?
Hi! I think it can be useful if we put a banner on top of this page to warn users that logind already implements some acpid features. Eventually we can highlight which of these features are already implemented, and a link to the systemd wiki page. Nierro (talk) 17:40, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
- The Power Management page (a section from systemd was recently moved there) links to this page correctly, but you are right - some note to read Power Management#Power management with systemd first would be useful. But I'd still keep the old examples using pm-suspend etc. until pm-utils is finally deprecated. -- Lahwaacz (talk) 17:51, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
