Can you help me find out why my laptop uses about 6W extra when X is
running with the intel graphics running?
Are there special kernel options I can give to the i915 driver to use less power,
or include in xorg.conf to do the same?
Is there also a way to make sure my nvidia chip I'm not using, is truly
off and not using power?
Details:
Laptop: Thinkpad skylake based P70 with dual graphics
legolas:~# lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 191b (rev 06)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107GLM [Quadro M600M] (rev a2)
Kernel: 4.4.2
Bios is setup for hybrid graphics instead of discrete since I'd like to
try not to use the nvidia chip.
I've disabled the nouveau kernel module and the nouveau X driver
(otherwise they load and talk to the nvidia card even if it doesn't
drive the display).
I did note that battery use wasn't good with them loaded either, but
maybe I need to do something special to make sure they're really off,
not sure.
When X wasn't running, in a text console, I was able to get this from
powertop:
LCD Off: 8.8W
LCD On: 13W
Sadly, when running X, and switch back to text terminal, I then get:
LCD Off: 14.2
LCD On: 17W
And inside X, I get:
The battery reports a discharge rate of 17.7 W
The estimated remaining time is 3 hours, 22 minutes
Summary: 113.6 wakeups/second, 0.0 GPU ops/seconds, 0.0 VFS ops/sec and 11.8% CPU use
Power est. Usage Events/s Category Description
5.57 W 10.0% Device Display backlight
216 mW 2.8 ms/s 17.1 Process /usr/bin/enlightenment
172 mW 363.3 µs/s 13.8 Timer tick_sched_timer
164 mW 135.6 µs/s 13.2 Process [rcu_sched]
131 mW 101.7 ms/s 2.8 Process powertop
If I let the LCD turn off:
The battery reports a discharge rate of 14.5 W
The estimated remaining time is 4 hours, 2 minutes
Summary: 108.9 wakeups/second, 0.0 GPU ops/seconds, 0.0 VFS ops/sec and 11.5% CPU use
Power est. Usage Events/s Category Description
168 mW 337.7 µs/s 13.8 Timer tick_sched_timer
152 mW 1.8 ms/s 12.3 Process /usr/bin/enlightenment
134 mW 99.8 µs/s 11.0 Process [rcu_sched]
108 mW 97.9 ms/s 1.1 Process powertop
In other words, whether I'm in X or on a text console, apparently having X run
causes a fairly high battery draw (4-6W extra).
Currently, I'm booting with:
