Public bug reported: As mentioned in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/760131/comments/201 I start a new bug for my machine. It's an Asus X4GS(N43SN) with the following hardware-sprecs:
Intel Core i5 - 2410M, 2,3GHz 4GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce GT550M 1GB (connected with Intel GMA through NVIDIA Optimus System) The System is running on Intel grafics card (as per xorg.log) This bug report is about the high power consumption, that is on everyone's lips. The battery time i get on Windows 7 Home Premium is between 3 and 4 hours. On Ubuntu Oneiric I get between 1,5 and 2 hours (with ca. 28-32W power consumption). When I install nvidia drivers (nvidia-current) the power consumption decreases to 22-25 W. But then the 3D mode isn't available and Unity 2D starts. I don't know how to fix this, but this is another problem. When running Ubuntu the fan is allways medium-fast to fast. When running windows 7 the fan is usually slow and sometimes medium-fast. I hope these are enough facts. If not I will provide all needed ones. Thank you so far.
