I'd like us to do regular power testing of Fedora (around milestones, and occasionally in rawhide) with powertop.
Ideally, we'd:
- have one or two defined hardware platforms
- have a few defined workloads (idle system, idle desktop, desktop with some apps running)
and then check them periodically to make sure we're not regressing.
Opinions?
I'd also add:
- after suspend/resume - make sure DISK power saving settings don't change
ie. on F8, I have to do:
hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda
to eliminate the current 'click of ultimate demise' problem with overly aggressive disk power management (Unfortunately, I don't know where I can set-it/script-it to run after a resume.)
