[Hardy] Acpi button actions don't seem to be handled by pm-utils yet

[c_t]

Binary package hint: acpi-support

I am using Kubuntu Hardy Beta with the kde-guidance-powermanager applet for handling suspend/resume/powersaving. It seems that this applet is using the new pm-utils which I can configure in /etc/pm/config.d/ . Actually in my case I have to blacklist one module to get things working.

So now suspending using the kde-guidance-powermanager applet works perfectly however when I press the Fn+ESC-Key kombo, which triggers the SLEEPBTN this event still seems to be handled by the old scripts that are in /etc/acpi . I also have acpid installed and running.

How is all that stuff meant to work? Shouldn't pm-utils take care of *everything*, including the button-events? Do I even need acpid? What is it good for? Aren't the acpi-button events processed by hal anyways?

I didn't find any resource where this is clearly described. I would highly appreciate any help on understanding this. Thanks!
