How / Where can you see the power consumption ? This information is meant to be displayed at the top line of the Overview tab. However, I had a closer look at the source and it seems, that this information might not be available on many (all?) systems, since powertop 1.97 only checks in the deprecated /proc/acpi/battery/ directory for consumtion information. I managed to patch powertop to use /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/, that should be available on systems with modern kernels, so that I got proper consumtion displayed on my thinkpad X201, but since that (dirty) patch might break functionality on other notebooks (especially since different units seem to be used across systems), it's not a global solution, hence not attaached :). I propose to wait for upstream to fix this. In the meantime you can use acpitool -B to get detailed battery status information.

I'm not sure this is really fixed, since powertop 2 is not reporting instant power consumption, I guess I need to perform a callibration first. So I'm sorry I'm unable to help (yet). I'll try with a callibration and I'll come back. Greetings Winnie ps: If there is no answer within 2 weeks, I'll close this bugreport as the issue seems to be finally fixed in 1.97...
