Nope, the 4/sec are just the usb hcd polling. When I move the mouse, or use the trackpoint, then I get a ton of wakeups. Also, the X wakeups are usually around 1/sec in idle, which implies that it's not pass-through X-events that are triggering it. > 1. something polling - what, i don't know, but you will need to strace > and/or debug and find out. Yeah, I started to use strace and there were a bunch of select() which probably are the cause. There was some mention of a similar problem with WindowMaker, so I'll look into that patch to see what was done to eliminate those wakeups. > i share your desire to reduce this, though 4/sec is really minimal when you > think about it :) It remains to be determined if it makes any real difference, but so far powertop has been pretty effective at reducing the power consumption of my thinkpad, so we'll see...
