If something can be done for laptop heat and battery sucking less, I'm all for it being included by default. I can't seriously use Fedora on my Mac laptops because they get too hot, produce MCE errors, and have terrible battery life (worse than Windows running with CSM-BIOS mode boot, which itself is half the battery life of OS X on the same hardware). I recall that hibernation isn't supposed to be used by default anymore but rather power off, but the other day in a low power situation, gnome put my laptop into hibernation which of course isn't configured correctly on Fedora so it doesn't work (with or without resume=) and that risks data loss and corruption. The problem with all of this is when model specific configuration becomes necessary. If that's avoidable, then great. -- Chris Murphy -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
