Hi Aubrey I'm not sure I understand the problem as you described it. I tested the changes on a variety of systems before integrating, with different intervals, and the behavior seems correct to me. I call powertop(1), the string is shown for the interval and then curses comes up with the reports. I don't see a black screen as you mentioned. What build are you running? Do you see the same problem with the source from the project gate? Are you calling it from the default shell? I just re-tested it on two systems using a binary straight from the gate's proto area. The source hasn't changed since I pushed 6834110 on the 19th. Is this the first time you see this issue? Thanks, Rafael
