I've been playing around with "powertop" on my eeePC. It has a very cool feature where it reads the power wattage your laptop is consuming from the battery at any given time. However, I can't put this feature to work on my Compal IFL 90. Can any of you make it work? It's in Ubuntu's repositories for anyone who wants to try it. Thank you in advance. Hi everyone!

Disabling AHCI didn't fix the prob. I found a solution here: http://jaba.mbnet.fi/clocksourcejiffies-ja-ubuntu-910-hidastumiset-pois Now karmic x64 runs without any freezes. As a positive side effect, hibernation and standby also works fine now (x64). After installing karmic, I was facing occasional freezes as described in a post from 080605.

In the USB symbol switch there is a little "+" symbol. I was told this switch supplies more power to connected compatible USB device. In the manual they are named as Power USB and Q-Charging Buttons. http://www.compal.com/asp/driver_dnd/index.htm I was told that the cable symbol switch is for quick charging.
