[Bug 1305522] Re: Backport Synaptics HID touchpad driver for 14.04

 

After running for a while and a couple of suspends it seems like battery
life is worse with this kernel. When idle (and not touching the
touchpad) powertop reports a quite high wakeup rate.

Usage       Events/s    Category       Description
2,2 ms/s     133,0        Process        [irq/39-DLL060A:]

Top also report a fairly high cpu-usage (imo):

PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND 
405 root     -51   0       0          0         0 S         0,7   0,0            0:46.16 irq/39-DLL060A:
