power supply are defined in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/events. Select the
schemes to use in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/common:
AC_SCHEME="performance"
BATTERY_SCHEME="powersave"
The schemes are stored in files in /etc/sysconfig/powersave. The filenames
are in the format scheme_name-of-the-scheme. The example refers to two
schemes: scheme_performance and scheme_powersave. performance,
powersave, presentation, and acoustic are preconfigured. Existing schemes
can be edited, created, deleted, or associated with different power supply states with
the help of the YaST power management module described in

When the sleep button is pressed, the system is set to the suspend-to-disk mode.
EVENT_BUTTON_LID_OPEN="ignore"
Nothing happens when the lid is opened.
EVENT_BUTTON_LID_CLOSED="screen_saver"
When the lid is closed, the screen saver is activated.

This event happens if an unknown event is encountered by the daemon. Unknown
events include ACPI hot keys on some machines.
