re: powertop -- with silbe's help our battery driver now provides enough of the expected properties under /sys to let powertop make crude power measurements [1]. you have to build from their svn, though, because of a bug that's not normally exposed on machines using the ACPI driver. (to clarify -- i have the fix -- it's not in their svn repo yet -- i need to send it in.) but as richard implied, a tool like powertop won't help you tune your laptop much, since it only measures what happens when it's running. we save so much power with aggressive S3 that the changes from P-states, and to some extent C-states, are in the noise. paul [1] richard's logs and tools are far more informative, but it's fun watching the powertop numbers change. =--------------------- paul fox, p...@laptop.org _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
