--- Comment #22 from Tarballwalf <[email protected]> ---
I have tried changing the interval from 1 to 30 seconds and at no points I have
seen that spike in CPU usage come back or multiple EACCES errors (just the
standard ones from my user not being in the I2C group)

I'm not sure if I did this right tho, the $HOME/.config/ddcutil/ddcutilrc file
contained:
~~~
[global]
options: --i13 30
~~~
Is this the right way to do it? I have also been restarting powerdevil every
time I changed a value during testing.

About my user not boing in the I2C group, shouldn't that become the default in
the future or do I need to add myself manually to it from now on? or continue
testing with the current behavior?

As for any noticeable impact on performance, the same 1-2 second choppiness on
the login screen persists. My suspicion it's just the NVIDIA drivers being
wonky on laptops as I notice the same choppiness when I leave my laptop idle
and the GPU has to go from P8 (low power) to P4 or P0 (mid to high power)
whenever it's drawing andimations. Is there a way to disable ddcutil
temporarily to check if it's the drivers and not ddcutil itself?
