Hi,
Before I do too much investigating I was wondering if anyone might be able to
give me a simple yes/no answer to this question.
I just installed debian 64 bit amd on my Dell vostro 3350 laptop.
I turn all of the wifi bluetooth and screen off (I'm blind) and observe power
using powertop.

If your laptop supports SMAPI, *use it*. In my opinion, it *really* helps
increase the lifespan of the battery. It is unfortunate that more devices do
not support SMAPI or an equivalent.

That's really weird...
I suggest you post your laptop's maker/model and whether you installed

some program's doing a lot of I/O or something.

Hi,
This should be possible via APM or ACPI. In the latter case make sure

I have an ancient NEC Versa 4080H laptop, and I wiped Windows off of it

Is there a /proc entry? I couldn't find one. T
