Goooooooodie.... hello power management!

Nice.
So any OpenSuse Veterans around who can tell me how I can cleanly update to 2.6.35? I switched over from Gentoo when 11.3 was released and I'm still getting used to things.

Is there anything to do to use pm or is it switched on per default?

I think that would depend on your distribution of choice?

Should be on by default -- but the default is to use profiles, so you have to switch to lower or higher states.

This repository contains latest Kernel snapshots, I don't know which repo contains the latest stable kernel, but there should be one. alternately you can still compile the kernel yourself.

Note that in 2.6.35, there is a mid profile as well. It's not enabled by default.

Thanks for the link. It really helped. I changed the power_profile to low. Is there any way to check if it worked?

in terminal : "sensors" to see temperatures, "powertop" to see power consumption
