FYI, those are the patches I applied to Ubuntu's hal and pm-utils now
to achieve the above.

I understand that they are more like hacks than clean and
upstream-adoptable solutions. The long-term solution would be to make
hal/FDIs powerful enough to match on X.org device drivers (or, at
least, loaded kernel modules) as well, then both patches could become
FDIs.

However, maybe another distribution can make some use of them.

Thanks, and happy Easter holidays,

Martin
