KDE makes my batery run out in no time :-(
Hi,
I've recently installed KDE3.1 on my Woody system and i think it's cool.
But I've a small problem... With 3.1 my laptop harddisk light is
always blinking and besides the pshycadelic feeling :-) my batery runs
out of power to fast... How can i check what is making my disk spin?
I've a Clevo 2700C with a PIII-1000Mhz, 512Mb of RAM (32 shared for
video) i've been watching to the 'top' command output, and found that
the process X is the one that consumes more processor when i'm doing
nothing... (about 3%) can it be X the one that is making my harddisk
spin? Probably not, because when i've only kdm loaded (haven't made
login yet) the harddisk light is off when i'm idle...
This is very odd...
probably it is a broken package, because i'd lot's of troubles
installing the new kde, but i'd like to know how can i find you wich
process is making my disk spin...
Thanks,
Paulo Lopes
