In this package. there are several modules, which you can enable. For example the powersaving of your sound card if it is possible. you can modify the laptop-mode-tools.conf in order to remount the file with noatime/RELATIME then control the powermangement of your harddisk. but it could be problematic for the hard disk...for example to set "hdparm -B 1 /dev/sd*" is good to save battery life...but not good for the disk life...there is lots of documentation on the net which explain the problem. > What else can I do to save battery?

Look if you have speedstep available for your processor. > Or is what I'm doing now about the best you can do?
