So I've got a KDE ascii desktop running. One thing I notice is that I
can't suspend from within KDE (haven't tried outside of KDE either).

I do have the various policykit packages installed though. Any idea how
to get it working or troubleshoot it?

             amd64        authentication agent for PolicyKit

Another separate issue is the brightness for the display doesn't seem to
work by default. Would be nice to get that working.
