bdkoepke, thank you for your help. With your pointers, I ended up compiling my own kernel with a new DSDT.hex (unfortunately current kernels do not support loading DSDT.aml files from initramfs). On idle, with WiFi off and low screen brightness I can also get roughly 10500 mW, with an estimated 7 hours of battery life.
Of course, in an ideal world we'd find the appropriate progression of acpi calls so that a custom DSDT would not be necessary. Even better would be a true switchable graphics solution, although since Nvidia's binary driver won't support it, the bottleneck is still getting good 3D out of nouveau. -- support graphics card hot switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312756 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
