How do you usefully tell the difference between an application that's waking up a lot because it's dumb and an application that's waking up a lot because it's doing something useful? One downside of powertop is that it's resulted in a lot of "How do I reduce the number of wakeups caused by i8042 whenever I use the mouse"-type questions. We don't want innocent app writers to be hit by this kind of thing. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
