Dear Maintainer,

in light of the recent "becoming compulsory" of powerdevil, I've decided to
give it a try, rather than using my own acpi script in python.

Results are rather bad.

I have configured it to dim the screen when on battery, and to suspend whenever
the lid is closed or the power button is pressed.

It does not do anything at all. The screen is not dimmed, and the lid/button
are completely ignored.


Could it be the case that it expects systemd to manage ACPI things, while I am
still using acpid (because my script uses the unix socket from acpid).

Best
