Throwing two lines into /etc/X11/xorg.conf seems to help out with power consumption:
Option "UseEvents" "1" Option "Coolbits" "1" It may be worth a try. The latter is usually used to over/underclock the GPU. That may actually help with some savings there. On 5/21/07, Jason Lai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Switching to a virtual console stops the interrupts temporarily, but only so long as I'm in a virtual console. The interrupts resume when I'm back in X. Changing from the nvidia drivers to VESA also gets rid of the interrupts, but then I lose 2D hardware acceleration. I hope nvidia is working on this. - Jason _______________________________________________ Power mailing list [email protected] http://www.bughost.org/mailman/listinfo/power
