Comment 196 for bug 760131

I am now running Lubuntu Beta 2 with kernel 3.0.0-12-generic and at least for me the issue seems fixed. I didn't do any actual wattage measurements, but my time on battery went from ~6 hours to ~10 hours (where it was before this whole power problem started).

Since this problem seems to be very hardware specific, I am running a netbook with and Intel Atom N450 (CPU + IGP). No seperate videocard.

This bug probably should be split up into multiple other bugs for the people still experiencing problems, with the split being based on hardware characteristics. Reading through all of the comments suggests that this has become a melting pot of multiple different issues, which is counterproductive to the actual finding and fixing of said bugs.
