For example, GPU, screen = backlight, disks, etc. Without having proper video driver for AMD GPUs = it is difficult to predict its power consumption. Also you may look on = this page: http://wiki.freebsd.org/TuningPowerConsumption . It was = written some time ago and mostly for Intel, but hopefully better then = nothing. Unluckily I have no experience with AMD laptops. Actually I think it's a matter of GPU. On Linux, I can use the = proprietary drivers. On (PC|Free)BSD, I am using the VESA XOrg driver. The link you gave me allowed me, some time ago, to lower my netbook = power consumption, going even lower than Linux. The machine is compiling the patched kernel now. I will try to reboot it = as soon as finished.
