I had already been using the powerprefs gui to look at those settings but now I understand what they're doing. I set up "custom" settings, and they work, but they revert to the default behavior on restart. > I think pbbuttonsd overrides those setting, try setting the variable > *HDTimeOff in /etc/power/pmcs-config/ for the hdparm -S value. That was another confusing thing -- pbbuttonsd says it uses values in seconds and hdparm apparently uses a different factor (5x seconds).
