--- Comment #48 from Joachim Wagner <jwag...@computing.dcu.ie> --- It's also still around 9.5% CPU usage in a VM with KVM and both guest and host using current OpenSUSE Leap 42.3 in a default setup. That's KDE 5.8.7. For sddm-greeter instead of kscreenlocker_greet, it's slightly better: 6.5%. On the host with hardware graphics, it's below 0.1%. (I'm still curious how much more power the graphics card consumes when the greeter is active compared to (a) an idle desktop and (b) text mode.) An alternative route to a partial solution may be to add a feature request to Mesa 3D's Gallium llvmpipe software rasteriser to not waste CPU while the output is not visible. Then one could save power by switching to a virtual terminal where kscreenlocker/sddm-greeter is not active. Opinions? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
