Great! Now that I have tested the Keyboard brightness support patch that is on Review Board atm, I get two error messages simultaneously on startup: One for DPMS, the other for Keyboard brightness. This really needs to be fixed/silenced …

> On my machine it always claims "The profile Battery tried to activate DPMSControl which is a non-existent action.", which is when I compile powerdevil myself that DPMS stuff is not compiled (DPMS build requirements not met here) and so the action floats around in the config but cannot be triggered anyways. (Imho this is a really infamous message, have seen it quite often on other machines *duck*). All the other actions seem to be installed anyways, so this missing action poses no threat. I guess a kWarning would be sufficient for this.
