Hello,I'm using powertop on my laptop to try to increase its autonomy, and I have good results using a 2.6.22rc7 kernel patched with : - hrt1 patch (from http://tglx.de/projects/hrtimers/) to activate "hidden" HPET off the ICH4-M chipset - radeon patch to avoid vsync interrupt of my radeon graphic card In this configuration, I have an idle power consumption of about 8W, whereas I get 10W without these patches :-) I've noticed also some problems :-P : 1/ the hardware clock can't be initialized : running "/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh start" always give : Setting the system clock.. select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out
I've seen a thread about HPET and RTC problems here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/4/7 --Edwin _______________________________________________ Power mailing list [email protected] http://www.bughost.org/mailman/listinfo/power
