Hi, I am trying to sort out the following bugreport:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=497929 In short: on a thinkpad x61s with tp-smapi module loaded powertop reports an insane high Powerusage (200W-300W). This can be traced back to the following diff: @@ -644,7 +651,7 @@ void print_battery_sysfs(void) continue; memset(line, 0, 1024); if (fgets(line, 1024, file) != NULL) { - watts_drawn = strtoull(line, NULL, 10) / 1000000.0; + amperes_drawn = strtoull(line, NULL, 10) / 1000000.0; } fclose(file); Reverting this gives readings that make more sense. What would be the proper way to solve this problem? FYI: The Debian version of powertop is a patched version 1.10 and contains this line. The Debian patch to powertop seems to be taken from revision 300 of powertop. ( http://code.google.com/p/powertop/source/detail?r=300 ). Both reverting this line on the Debian version as reverting the line on the latest subversion version of powertop result in sane readings. thanks a lot, Winfried Tilanus -- http://www.tilanus.com xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tel. 015-3613996 / 06-23303960 fax. 015-3614406 _______________________________________________ Power mailing list [email protected] http://www.bughost.org/mailman/listinfo/power
