[ltp] Maximising battery run time

[Tomek Jarzynka]

Hi,

I've been wondering what steps can be taken to maximise
the uptime on batteries, on a T40 laptop. Powersave/cpu
throttling is one obvious factor, how about the others?

Does disabling either of the external interfaces (parallel,
irda, VGA, modem) seem to reduce power consumption?
And if they are left enabled, does not loading a driver
make them inactive?

Has anyone evaluated this issue? If so, what actions produced
how much of an improvement?

Regards,
