powertop makes various recommendations that are only useful in very specific circumstances. Disabling polling in hal saves you a small (and probably not useful in the real world) amount of power, but is required to get to the number of wakeups per second that Arjan was aiming for. I haven't been able to measure any difference in power consumption on a typical system. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59-chiark.mail.debian.de...@srcf.ucam.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
