<pre wrap="">I've read that the lower level tools themselves changed. Apparently,
some of the knobs power devil was using weren't designed to to be
individually tweaked, and they either disappeared entirely or there were
bugs related to their use that were closed WONTFIX as they weren't
supposed to be directly tweaked in the first place.
So power devil didn't have much of a choice. They could either do the
complicated thing and provide a GUI that allowed setting most of what
laptop-mode-tools does, but that was several times more complex than what
they were doing, or go the simple, dumbed-down route. For now, they went
the dumbed-down route. It's possible they'll eventually expose the
complex config to those that want it, but that's a lot of code to write
and test, so dumbed-down is what they'd be exposing temporarily, until
the complex code could be written and tested, in any case.

As far as I understand the setup, the UI and the actual power managment code
are separate entities, so if the management code does allow for more fine
grained control somebody could write an alternative UI for it which exposes
those controls.
One could check with the author of the new UI whether it would be possible to
upload the old UI to kde-apps or something.
Cheers,
Kevin
