------- Comment #18 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2008-06-12 22:06 -------
Thanks for the test. It seems that the problem can be fixed by the patch in
comment #16.

>From the log in comment #12 we know that MWAIT is supported on your laptop. But
there are some problems when the mwait is used for CPU C-states. For example:
C3-state is missing and powertop can't find the original reason for the too
many wakeup events. So it will be better to not use MWAIT for CPU-cstate on
your laptop. The follwing info only tell us that mwait is disabled for CPU
C-states.  
   > +               "disable mwait for CPU C-stetes", id->ident);

For the problem that proc I/F says C0 would be active, you needn't analyze the
reason. It is related with kernel configuration. If CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is set in
kernel configuration, the Proc I/F will always say that C0 is active. In such
case sys I/F had better be used. 

As the problem can be fixed by the patch in comment #16, the bug can be marked
as resovled.

Thanks.
