In the same spirit of your recommendation, this is a document that I
wrote quite a while ago, when trying to boost the battery life of
notebooks: <http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito/linux/notebook-hints.html>.
It is quite outdated (for instance, at that time, there wasn't anything
like laptop-mode, AFAIK), but it may have some things that are still
useful.
Hope this helps, Rogério.
