Hi, I'm working on adding some more power management logging support to freebsd-head so we can start to get a better grip on sleep/wakeup occurances. That should help us start to figure out where the power consumption is going. But on that EEEPC 900, just make sure you've set dev.cpu.0.cx_lowest to something lower than C1. -a On 3 May 2014 08:57, Matthias Apitz <guru@unixarea.de> wrote: > El d=C3=ADa Tuesday, April 01, 2014 a las 08:38:28AM +0100, David Chisnal= l escribi=C3=B3: > >> >> Just a small note here: Improving power management is something that the= Core Team and the Foundation have jointly identified as an important goal,= in particular for mobile / embedded scenarios.
