There are a lot of things you can do. See lesswatts.org . Install powertop to identify what tools wake up too often (cause IRQ interrupts) and disable them. Use phc kernel and try undervolting your cpu (less heat, longer battery life). All of this should be mentioned at lesswatts.org. Sharad -- LUG@IITD - http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
