Subject: Excessive S3 battery drain on R32
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2003 13:15:35 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3FE09D47.6050908@netspace.org> (raw)
I've noticed that my R32 using S3 last only about 9 hours on a full
battery using S3. This should be more like 24 hours.
It seems that the problem is at least in part caused by X. Some
preliminary testing (suspend, wait half an hour, repeat) indicated that
booting into single user mode and suspending drained at a more
appropriate rate. Then, starting X by hand, then suspending seemed to
cause the drain to go up.
The card is a Radeon Mobility M6, but the radeon kernel driver isn't
being used, as DRI is broken in fedora core's stock XFree. Is this
problem a relative of the S3 Radeon initialization bugs that people have?

Yes, but will it wash my dishes?
