Comment:

 Replying to [comment:8 cjb]:
 > Sure.  But if you have bounteous, plentiful power, why would you need
 automatic power management?

 Saving power is always good. Also, you may have plentiful power but still
 want/need to have more than 3 hours of battery time when it's convenient
 to have the XO unplugged. It's also better to have a suspend that lasts
 for a day or two, on a full charge, than about 8 hours.

 I also have an issue with the screen backlight being set to the highest
 level after automatic power management has turned it back up after being
 auto dimmed and suspend. It shoud restore to the previous user set level.

 If I have some free time to look at this, and the bug I described, what
 files and components should I be looking at?

 Best regards

 Build 8.2.0 767
