[opensuse] Power saving with Intel Atom
I have an Intel Atom processor, and for some reason the newer kernels eat my battery. I have added a couple boot parameters, which help... particularly with the heat. I have installed powertop and laptop-mode-tools. The latter I have no clue how to use. Got any hot tips? I'll happily provide more info as its needed.

I assume you already played with some Power Settings and Power Profile tweaks like Display Brithness (perormance, power save, agressive powersave). Do you?

GNOME3 Environment: Just point to the upper left corner and type Display. It will show you the Display options to dim or increasing the Brightness. Another option is upper right corner and click on user name. It will display options then go to System Settings and click on it. It will show you Personal->Display. Once on Display procede like the first paragraph moving the slider toward the left side. Hope this helps to improve your system battery. If not working for you consider checking the kernel type (Desktop, PAE, etc.) Regards, -- Ricardo Chung | Panama Linux Ambassador openSUSE Projects -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well.. that's not newer.. try a kernel-desktop from Kernel:Stable repository. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Are the power regressions fixed in the newer kernels? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
