[Bug 717454] Power consumption of 3.0.4 kernel is 10-20W higher than 2.6.37 on new i7 based SandyBridge processors

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=717454 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=717454#c12 --- Comment #12 from Andrew Wafaa <awafaa@opensuse.org> 2011-09-25 08:09:59 UTC --- Adding the following kernel parameter to the 3.0.4 kernel brings usage down from 22W to 11W: i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 This also seems to fix fan over utilisation/heat which may have been the cause of the additional power drain.
