Bug 207721: x11/mate: Power Management Preferences don't work (under Haswell)
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207721



--- Description ---
I have installed MATE 1.12 under PCBSD 11 on a System76 Gazelle Pro laptop
which uses a Haswell chipset and none of the MATE power management preferences
seem to work.

The one I'm mostly concerned with are the display sleep settings. When running
on either AC or battery power my laptops display never gets put to sleep after
the time specified under the MATE power settings.

There are no options to set what my computer should do when I close the laptop
lid as there are under Linux MATE and, despite 'When the power button is
pressed' being set to 'Ask me', my laptop instantly shuts down when I push the
power button instead of prompting me for which action to take.

MATE is a fork of GNOME 2.

It provides an intuitive and attractive desktop to users using
traditional metaphors.

Where does the name come from?

The name "MATE" comes from yerba mate, a species of holly native
to subtropical South America. Its leaves contain caffeine and are
used to make infusions and a beverage called mate.

This metaport installs MATE base (lite, a lean desktop) plus
extras applications such as text editor, archiver manager and
etc. If you do not want to have the bloats, please install
x11/mate-base.
