Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.103-5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Here are two scripts from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReducedPowerUsage which I
have added
to /etc/acpi/ac.d and /etc/acpi/battery.d to try to reduce my power usage while
on battery.
They have to do with tweaking the Linux virtual memory manager and setting the
wireless
adapter (Intel ipw-3945 in my case) power-saving mode.

Hi Bart,
Thanks for the prompt response and taking the time to provide all of these
great pointers.
Based on your clarifications of what acpi-support does, I'm gonna look into
laptop-mode-tools and send patches there if it's missing anything.
You were also right about some of the potentially dangerous VM settings. I
have tweaked them on my laptop now.
Anyways, since acpi-support already recommends laptop-mode-tools, I see no
reason for leaving this bug open.
Cheers,
Francois
