Mapping form factor

[Richard Hughes]

One of the nice things about DMI data is that it gives you the form
factor of the device, so you can choose sensible defaults for laptops,
servers and handhelds. This data is exported in HAL, but not
DeviceKit-*

What about something like this:

SUBSYSTEM!="dmi", GOTO="dkp_formfactor_end"

ATTR{chassis_type}=="3", ENV{DKP_FORMFACTOR}="desktop"		# Desktop
ATTR{chassis_type}=="4", ENV{DKP_FORMFACTOR}="desktop"		# Low Profile Desktop
ATTR{chassis_type}=="5", ENV{DKP_FORMFACTOR}="server"		# Pizza Box
ATTR{chassis_type}=="6", ENV{DKP_FORMFACTOR}="desktop"		# Mini Tower
ATTR{chassis_type}=="7", ENV{DKP_FORMFACTOR}="desktop"		# Tower
ATTR{chassis_type}=="8", ENV{DKP_FORMFACTOR}="laptop"		# Portable
ATTR{chassis_type}=="9", ENV{DKP_FORMFACTOR}="laptop"		# Laptop
ATTR{chassis_type}=="10", ENV{DKP_FORMFACTOR}="laptop"		# Notebook
ATTR{chassis_type}=="11", ENV{DKP_FORMFACTOR}="handheld"	# Hand Held
ATTR{chassis_type}=="12", ENV{DKP_FORMFACTOR}="laptop"		# Docking Station
ATTR{chassis_type}=="14", ENV{DKP_FORMFACTOR}="laptop"		# Sub Notebook
ATTR{chassis_type}=="15", ENV{DKP_FORMFACTOR}="desktop"		# Space-saving
ATTR{chassis_type}=="17", ENV{DKP_FORMFACTOR}="server"		# Main Server Chassis
ATTR{chassis_type}=="28", ENV{DKP_FORMFACTOR}="server"		# Blade

LABEL="dkp_formfactor_end"

This seems to be the sort of thing I would need for
gnome-power-manager, but doesn't seem to work. Is this a good idea, or
should I just do the mapping in C?

Thanks,

Richard.
