I have a Thinkpad T40. (14" pentium M 1500). When I rmmod usb modules, don't use the wireless and dim the brightness to the lowest, I get it down to 8.5W with 42 wakeups. However, in a usable condition (wireless on, maximum brightness, moving the mouse around a bit) it is about twice as much, with 16-18W, because Ndiswrapper causes about 80 wakeups and I don't reach C4 anymore. I have two small questions to the list: Is there a way to use wireless without having so many wakeups? My Chipset is ICH4-M. Is it possible to use the hrt-patches and would this reduce my power consumption more than a few tenths of a watt? Powertop shows me 19 extra timer interrups. If I understand it correctly, those would be gone with the multimedia timers. -- Simon _______________________________________________ Power mailing list [email protected] http://www.bughost.org/mailman/listinfo/power
