I've done that. It's part of the Battery Powered Howto. I was hoping to avoid rehashing the elements of power saving that are more generic to Linux as that doesn't seem to be the problem. If I run fvwm2 it's OK. Gnome is OK too. KDE is not. I don't know how to trouble-shoot this kind of problem at this point. If you have any suggestions, please don't keep them to yourself! If it's disk io, is there some way to track it...? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
