It doesn't on my box, it seems to act exactly the same as powertop without -d. powertop-1.7-3.fc7 What about Fedora-specific things powertop complains about, such as these three? Suggestion: Disable 'hal' from polling your cdrom with: hal-disable-polling /dev/scd0 'hal' is the component that auto-opens a window if you plug in a CD but disables SATA power saving from kicking in. Disable the SE-Alert software by removing the 'setroubleshoot-server' rpm SE-Alert alerts you about SELinux policy violations, but also has a bug that wakes it up 10 times per second. Suggestion: enable AC97 powersave mode by executing the following command: echo 1 > /sys/module/snd_ac97_codec/parameters/power_save or by passing power_save=1 as module parameter. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
