Periodical disk writes that eat your battery ?
No display dimming ?
No cpu speed reduction ?

Just ideas...

2.6.21-rc4: extremely high power consumption

2007-03-21 Thread Pavel Machek
Hi!

Today I heard fans running a bit too much. I checked with top, and got
no obvious power hog. And now acpi battery says:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/data/l/zaurus/oz.spitz.3541# cat
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
present: yes
capacity state:  ok
charging state:  discharging
present rate:35248 mW
remaining capacity:  1850 mWh
present voltage: 14259 mV

...35W! This machine normally eats 14W.

Now it got better, I still see nothing at top... 22W. That's still 8W
more than it should be. What is going on?

2.6.21-rc4: extremely high power consumption

2007-03-21 Thread Pavel Machek
Hi!

Today I heard fans running a bit too much. I checked with top, and got
no obvious power hog. And now acpi battery says:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/data/l/zaurus/oz.spitz.3541# cat
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
present: yes
capacity state:  ok
charging state:  discharging
present rate:35248 mW
remaining capacity:  1850 mWh
present voltage: 14259 mV

...35W! This machine normally eats 14W.

Now it got better, I still see nothing at top... 22W. That's still 8W
more than it should be. What is going on?
