Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

Using hand-compiled powertop 0.17 I get much lower battery usage when I combine g-p-m with laptop_mode.

 - g-p-m on its own 25~28W
 - g-p-m with laptop_mode ~18W

This is using kernel 2.6.22-7-general on a Compaq-6710b

No, HAL already tries to use pm-utils to do low power actions. Ubuntu should ship pm-utils rather than patch HAL to use laptop_mode.
