[ltp] x60: Battery Life under Linux

[Thierry Nicola]

Yes, after upgrading the Bios 10 1.06, I noticed a slight decrease of
the batterylife.

Did you try any powersaving methods yet??

Hi,

after upgrading the bios from 1.04 to 1.06 (to get rid of the high
pitch 
noise), it appeared to me that power consumption has risen by ~ 0.5 W.
But of 
course this would not get you on par with windows...
