Package: powertop Version: 1.11-1 Severity: normal For the last few months I've noticed that powertop reports that my laptop is consuming 210.6 W and that the battery will last 0.3 hours. Those values are not correct. 'acpi' says that the battery will last four more hours, which agrees with my experience.
The laptop is a Thinkpad T60 with Intel graphics and video. It had problems with the inverter cable (it would wake up on its own from sleep) and the status LEDs were also broken, so I thought those problems might have caused powertop to report falsely high power consumptions. But the motherboard and LED cables recently got replaced, which fixed all those problems, and powertop still reports falsely high power consumptions. I can send a PNG showing a powertop screenshot. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages powertop depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncursesw5 5.7+20090803-2 shared libraries for terminal hand powertop recommends no packages.
