[Bug 283100] Re: powertop shows kwin generating lots of wakeups (intrepid, kde4)

[Julian Edwards]

Ok so I turned on "show paint" and "show fps"

First observation: If I change the screen's refresh rate, I see the
corresponding change in both the fps shown by kwin *and* the
wakeups/second.

Second observation: If I don't touch the mouse and have a static screen,
nothing is apparently getting repainted as you say, yet the fps and
wakeups are still running at the same rate (50/60 whatever I set with
xrandr)

Conclusion: kwin is waking up unnecessarily with vblank interrupts.

Now I don't mind this being marked as "Won't fix", but marking it as
"invalid" is wrong based on these observations.

Anyway, thanks for listening, I'll just have to turn off the effects
when on battery and look forward to 9.04.  Thanks!
