I added "logger $value" to hal-system-power-set-power-save. It always 
shows "false" in the logs.

on_ac_power works correctly, as does /sys/class/power_supply/AC/online

Yes, I think so too, calling pm-powersave without arguments works 
correctly. I also added "logger $*" to pm-powersave and it always shows 
"false".


BTW: I'm using HAL 0.5.14-3
