I won't get there. ACPI alone is responsible for 5 wakeups on
battery, 3.4 on_ac and 0.4 without battery.

Another 5 go to chipset and graphics (w/ opengl)

Fuxbox kicks in once a second, X twice -- all not too bad, though.

I cannot reproduce this.
I can see the battery usage estimates going up a bit for
a while after suspending -- fine, it takes power to fire
the system up. probably one device or the other gets a
wakeup-call even though it slept before.

Anyway, after a couple minutes I get roughly the same estimates.
And "roughly" has to be taken literally here.

There may or may not be a .2 Watts extra, i cannot tell.

Best, Andre
