[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1304912] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 laptop uses lot of power switchable graphics
I am currently on Ubuntu 14.10 and my time on battery improved significant. The CPU temperate now gets below 60°C on idle (~57°C; but 47-50°C on Windows). I am still concerned since the overall heat produced from the laptop is somehow still much more less on Windows. I am not sure if the graphics card is really shut down 100% if not in use. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1304912 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 laptop uses lot of power switchable graphics To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1304912/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
