I want to have this fixed in solid too, but in the meantime this is all what can be done. All you said is true. But if you look in powertop you have at least 40 wakeups per second (if you don't do anything and have much luck). Under nurmal workload in can climb up into the thousands. This patch adds a single wakeup all two seconds for a short period of time only if the user requested a sleeping mode. After waking up there is much cpu activity anyway, there is not much time for deep sleeps anyway. I cannot imagine that this patch really reduces battery time in any noticeable amount. This patch does respect hibernate. > On 2010-09-13 16:16:21, Sebastian Kügler wrote: > > /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/powerdevil/daemon/PowerDevilDaemon.cpp, line > > 814 > > <http://svn.reviewboard.kde.org/r/5320/diff/2/?file=35751#file35751line814> > > > > This is problematic.
