I've tried it too and it doesn't help either. There are many threads on [EMAIL PROTECTED] talking about this issue.
This one from a Ubuntu user is interesting http://www.bughost.org/pipermail/power/2008-March/001327.html. He met the same issue on a Lenovo T8300. He has made some experiments with unloading modules to the bare minimum with no results : http://www.bughost.org/pipermail/power/2008-March/001339.html Except if DELL and Lenovo BIOSes are the same this is definitely not a BIOS issue. BTW, I've tried the freshly released 2.6.25 and results are quite poor: - Kernel IPI is around 15/s which is good - Total Wakeups/s is unchanged compared to 2.6.24 :( -- Powertop reports huge number of wakeups and drains battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145377 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
