Version: (using KDE 4.4.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Mandriva RPMs PowerDevil does not check if the currently selected power profile is more conservative than the one it is going to swich to. Power Management settings (I didn't change them, but just for the record: Profile Assignment ------------------ When on battery power = Powersave When battery is at low level (25%) = Aggressive Powersave When battery is at warning level (15%) = Xtreme Powersave Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unplug AC Adaptor from laptop, PowerDevil activates "Powersave" profile. 2. Manually select "Xtreme Powersave", the most battery conservative power profile. 3. When battery reaches 25%, PowerDevil switches to "Agressive Powersave" profile.
Confirmed here using Kubuntu 9.10 + KDE4.4 SC debs. I was running in xtreme power saving mode, I hit 25% battery and it switched to aggressive.
