Hey, after installing 13.2 I'm struggling with several problems. One of the problems I haven't been able to solve yet, is the high power consumption of a ThinkPad T430s with Ivy bridge and Intel HD Graphics (NVidia Optimus is completely disabled via the BIOS). After activating powersave for Intel WiFi and Intel HDA Sound, the old 13.1 installation consumes about 8.5W at 60% screen brightness.[0] Under the same prerequisites, the 13.2 installation consumes 10.5W, i.e., 25% more. Powertop is clueless and thinks the display backlight consumes 9W ( and at 0% brightness 7W). According to http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTc3NTE there is a power regression in the Intel Graphics driver. Although the underlying change should only affect Haswell, there are reports that Ivy Bridge might suffer, too. However, forcing Frame Buffer Compression does not considerably reduce the power consumption of the 13.2 installation. Any ideas?
