Greetings, I have just upgraded to Ubuntu Gusty Gibbon, and eagerly have started using powerTOP to investigate my power use. (Firefox is often the prime offender, probably some animations on a web site).
However, although my system has a T7400 mobile CPU, powerTOP says that no C-state information is available because it's only available on Mobile CPUs. My system is a homebuilt MoTD (Mobile on the Desktop) with the T7400 CPU, AOpen i945GTm-VHL micro-ATX motherboard, 2 x 1 GB SODIMM for RAM, an Nvidia 7300 GS PCIe-16 video card, onboard sound, and 2 2.5" notebook drives in software RAID-1 (mdadm). I don't know enough to speculate on why powerTOP doesn't see my CPU. When booting, the BIOS reports that the CPU is C1E enabled (I forget the exact syntax, will check on the next reboot). Someone who knows more about how powerTOP works may be able to describe what's going on or make some suggestions ... Thanks in advance, Ben _______________________________________________ Power mailing list [email protected] http://www.bughost.org/mailman/listinfo/power
