In fact, I would even say the verification of your wattage-savings is a bit of a guess based on the description I've seen of your testing. That being said, I'm all for power savings, so I think it's a great idea and that it should be done. I'm sure I'll type 'reset' a few times on the console before I realize I've picked up the change and my cursor isn't supposed to blink, but it won't be the end of the world. -andy -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
