this is usually an indication that you're not actually idle ;-) one thing to try is the experimental git version of powertop (1.99 for now); it has much more advanced reporting (but it's still lacking many other features) git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/status/powertop/powertop.git _______________________________________________ Power mailing list [email protected] http://www.bughost.org/mailman/listinfo/power
