Just search in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/ the .conf file with the same name of the module. Read the content and change the variables that you want. For example, to enable the intel-sata-powermgmt module you need to change the 'CONTROL_INTEL_SATA_POWER' in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/intel-sata-powermgmt.conf. Do the same with the other modules and install my self-made modules. > Have you installed the sony module Eva proposed?

I use 'powertop' to check the average power usage but you can also look at the file /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state. I did my tests using firefox and thunderbird and with few open terminals. Active use but nothing of heavy. bye Mario _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sony-vaio-z-series Post to : sony-vaio-z-series@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sony-vaio-z-series More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
