It does work quite well (in particular there is no problem with sleep/resume). This is with Kubuntu 10.4.1 and grub1. >> Powertop indicated 20+W consumption, and the main issue >> was that CONFIG_NO_HZ was not set.

Thanks a lot, I am running it right now. I don't know why my power draw is so high to start with, but booting the new kernel does reduce it.
