Actually both, solid provides the mechanisms to deal with this, but we need 
plasma as a display on your desktop.

guidance-powermanager will disappear, and kpowersave will be ported to KDE4 
and get a usability review. In my ideal fantasy world, kpowersave, once 
refactored, will be the KDE official.

Actually, if you're interested in helping with this kind of hardware related 
topic, I advise you to subscribe to kde-hardware-devel, that's where it gets 
discussed.
