[Bug 777930] Re: High power consumption and general overheat in ubuntu 11.04.

2011-08-29 Thread emmsarris
As I wrote above it is a matter of both kernel and the opensource AMD driver. Using the fglrx reduces dramatically the power consumption! From my oneiric (linux-kernel-3.0) tests I can see that the power consumption is significantly lower, but still remains higher than maverick or lucid (WITH

emmsarris, It is a problem with the kernel, which is why it occurs in Fedora as well - anything that uses the 2.6.38 release. It has been reported on Phoronix: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=linux_kernel_regress2num=1 This bug report is a duplicate of the link below, where

2011-05-06 Thread Mark Jovalekic
There could also be another reason for the high power consumption. A process called beam.smp is using constantly a little bit cpu and could prevent it going to sleep and thus power saving state. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/erlang/+bug/750009 So you could check if you have this
