Works great on Ubuntu 10.10 (64bit on HP Envy with ATI Mobility Radeon 5650), including the calibration.

The Tunables tab is very convenient. I only missing knowing how many watts I'm using and the estimated remaining battery time.

Cheers,
Chad

(It's now a year later)

Where is powertop's git repository? Did Arjan just delete it? Version 2.0 has not appeared yet either, but I find 1.97 to work fine (if it could just tell how to make those tunables permanent).

Oh that's fun. There's one git repo. There's another one on git.kernel.org, which normally I would prefer only we're eight months post-compromise and it's still empty. And if you go to the first website advertised in that mail post, its download page links to a subversion repository!

At this point I'd have to start digging into the last-modified date of each repo to see which was current and what their relationship was to the existing powertop 1.x repos... and life is just too short.
