Hi,
thanks for the alpha - it looks good but here are my 2 cents ;)
What I'm missing are the tips for the tunables from the previous versions of
powertop. I know I can tweak the tunables from within powertop, but I don't
know how to change them permanently.
With the old version of powertop I could just take the
echo 1> somethingsomething
string and put it into one of my start scripts.
Maybe a "help" option for each tunable would be great (e.g. press h to display
a short help text which describes the tunable, with its possible consequences and
savings), and a description how to change the setting manually.
I was thinking of documenting this on a webpage instead, because there I
have much more space to explain things...
(and not the 3 lines I have in current powertop 1.13)
Moreover I'm missing the total wakeup count - if you have lots of tiny
processes running wild -- at least I can't see them on my little netbook screen.
If there is a total wakeup count it would be better on top of the screen.
ok will add ... enough people asking for it ;)
Another thing that was a little bit annoying is that the makefile checks for
libnl but not for the other libraries mentioned in the README.
Maybe one should put the checks into the "fake" configure script.
ok will take a look
