Hi List,

i just got a new Laptop, a X60T SXGA+.
Im very please except for the battery-life, with the 8cell i only get a
good 4h (max brightness, 1GHz, hdd standby, wlan on battery-mode).
With the brightness on min. i have about 5h.

Now im looking for something i could have missed, but i have frequency
scaling running and working (compile-times vary as expected), and every
intel-speedstep support is in my kernel. Im also running laptop-mode for
the hdd.

Since this model only gets shipped since about a week im maybe the first
to run linux on it, but as soon as anybody has some ideas what could be
wrong (if at all) plz let me now.

Greetings from Germany,
Sascha
