It is the backlight that is consuming the bulk of the power, not the color cells. So if you are worried about battery power, you should be using only black and white and turn the backlight down as much as possible with this setting. I have my doubts that this will save inordinate amounts of powers, though. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
