hi Arjan, Great to see that some work has been done. Just a question / feature wish: What if when the user quit powerTOP after the user has accepted changes and so on the user get asked if he / she want to save the settings - make them permanent. That would be awesome.
Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work. best trond On Thu, 2008-03-27 at 21:58 -0700, Arjan van de Ven wrote: > Hi, > > in the last day or so I've done various updates to PowerTOP in the subversion > repository > (finally I had some time to do it right). > > I'd like to thank the various people who contributed the code for this for > their contribution > and for their patience.. > > What is there in SVN right now that's not in the release: > * The C-state information is now read from sysfs > (Kevin Hilman and Venki Pallipadi) > - This gives better information, specifically C1 is now counted right > * USB suspend statistics (how well USB devices are power saving) > is now shown in -d mode, and as a hint during interactive use > * The sysfs power supply class (new in 2.6.25) is now used > (Donnie Berkholz) > * Various USB suspend bugfixes have been done > (it now actually works again, it broke for 2.6.24 at lease) > * Wireless powersaving for Intel's 4965 and 3945 WIFI drivers is now added > * On new enough CPUs, and the 2.6.25 kernel, Powertop will now > 1) show actual C-state numbers rather than the ACPI translation > 2) show at startup which C-states the bios and the cpu support > > > I'll be poking at this some more in the next day or two, and I hope to be > able to make > a full new release near the end of next week. > > Note to translators: Several strings got added, but I suspect a few more will > change before > the release; I'll send out a separate email when I think the strings are > frozen and then > wait a few days before making the release. > > _______________________________________________ > Discuss mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.lesswatts.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss > > _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.lesswatts.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
