Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz
It used to be possible to configure Compiz to not generate interrupts at 60Hz to save some battery. I’m not sure what’s going on nowadays with things like .drirc and buffer swaps and so on. The thing is in 0.8.6 Compiz didn’t feature prominently in Powertop when »Sync to VBlank« was disabled (and neither did i915), it had less than 5 wakeups per second and i915 almost none. Now in natty it has 60-70 wakeups, the most CPU waking process. I could figure out how to get rid of these. Top causes for wakeups: 26.1% ( 70.0) compiz 24.5% ( 65.7) [i915] <interrupt> 17.1% ( 46.0) [extra timer interrupt] 8.4% ( 22.7) [iwlagn] <interrupt> ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Regression from 0.8.6 to 0.9.2: Wakes up CPU at 60 Hz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/681696 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
