Thanks I don't believe powertop makes a suggested on acpi wakeup, at least not on these systems. It is listed in the tips and tricks.

I would like to suggest we provide an easier to follow guide for non geeks who want to reduce the power their computers are using. My wife teaches at a non profit school. They use Linux and they would like to do their part to reduce global warming. However they are completely baffled by tips like this "interrupt acpi is taking 15-20 wakeups. Setting /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THZN/polling_frequency to 0 instead of 2 solves this." Sorry to pick on this one item, but most tips are very hard to follow unless you have a BS in computer science. I had to google search this one myself, so not much chance of a 2 grade teacher following this. It would be great if someone could spend a few cycle and add some text on how to enact the guidance. great work Graham _______________________________________________ Power mailing list [email protected] http://www.bughost.org/mailman/listinfo/power _______________________________________________ Power mailing list [email protected] http://www.bughost.org/mailman/listinfo/power
