What are you doing with firefox when this is happening? Also, > that's a lot of timeouts for a terminal emulator. > I think gmail is the problem. After starting firefox, before going to gmail, the powertop output is not weird. Top causes for wakeups: 31.4% (131.4) <interrupt> : i8042 14.5% ( 60.5) <interrupt> : nvidia 13.3% ( 55.6) mlterm : schedule_timeout (process_timeout) 8.1% ( 34.0) Xorg : schedule_timeout (process_timeout) 7.7% ( 32.0) S06cpuspeed : queue_delayed_work_on (delayed_work_timer_fn 7.1% ( 29.5) <interrupt> : extra timer interrupt After going to may gmail account, where I read this email list, look what I see: 28.2% (183.0) firefox-bin : schedule_timeout (process_timeout) 15.6% (101.7) <interrupt> : i8042 9.3% ( 60.7) <interrupt> : nvidia 9.2% ( 59.7) mlterm : schedule_timeout (process_timeout) 7.6% ( 49.7) S06cpuspeed : queue_delayed_work_on (delayed_work_timer_fn 6.7% ( 43.7) Xorg : schedule_timeout (process_timeout) 6.2% ( 40.0) <interrupt> : ipw3945 5.2% ( 33.7) <interrupt> : extra timer interrupt 4.5% ( 29.0) Xorg : do_setitimer (it_real_fn) The mlterm checks, well, I can't explain them. I use mlterm because it is the only unicode-ready terminal program that I can find that allows me to set scalable images on the background from the command line. Since gnome-terminal removed the pixmap option from the cli, I don't use it. If anybody has a suggestion there, I'd switch. Eterm does not support unicode. -- Paul E.
