I noticed that even with zero CPU usage, using the intel card, the Z11
is much warmer and use up the battery much quicker in Linux than Windows 7.
I suppose its some ACPI setting or CPU "idle bits" or something like
that not functioning properly. I have all the i7 cooling stuff compiled
in tho.

(i7 620M)
Linux fully idle core1 and 2: 64C

Windows 7 fully idle core 1: 45C core 2: 50C

Same room same day and on Windows the fan run a lot slower than on Linux

Any idea or similar experience?

Thanks
