While using fglrx I still get ~60 wakeups per second, switching to a VT does not help.

Anyway thanks for this great tool, it helped me to nearly double the battery-lifetime on my Notebook! _______________________________________________ Power mailing list [email protected] http://www.bughost.org/mailman/listinfo/power
