Re: [gpm] hibernate on unplugging AC

[allcoms <allcoms googlemail com>]

Hi gpm list!

Sorry for the lengthy delay in getting the gpm debugging info back to
you- I've been away twice over the Christmas/ New Year period and just
got back 'for good'.

Here is the info output when running gpm with the --verbose switch and
unplugging AC (which causes my machine to shut down or Hibernate as
gpm says). Note that I can safely plug and unplug AC without any
adverse effects if I'm not running gpm.

I'd be grateful if anyone can spot anything that looks problematic in
that dump and recommend a solution to my problem.

Best wishes for 2010!

Dan
