Running the tests with the power cord plugged in is fine, but to get info on how much power this actually saves you need to be running on battery since most laptops can only measure power-consumption while running on battery. After getting the initial idle and idle power consumption with the new med_power_with_dipm policy activated you can run with the cord plugged in. > 2) In your guide you specified "[...] on a clean Fedora".

Do you confirm? Yes that is fine. > To be > sure, I will attach to test results e-mail, also: > - /etc/fstab > - /proc/cmdline > - # lshw > 3) Since in these days I am not using much the Thinkpads, I think I will > run Phoronix suite in order to simulate machine activity > Among all Phoronix test suite tests, If you think that there are some > that best fit your case, please let me know.
