Comment 8 for bug 336521

This problem seems to be due to a change in the way the quirks are set - it is now done straight out of the HAL database, rather than from the config file. How are we supposed to know this????????

The quirk keys can be set to new values by hand using the hal-set-property, after parsing the output of

lshal | grep "quirk"

to find the correct key name. The syntax is:

sudo hal-set-property --udi '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer' --key "power_management.quirk.dpms_suspend" --bool "false"

to set QUIRK-DPMS-SUSPEND to false, for instance.

Hope that helps....
