Description Stephen E. Baker 2009-02-01 19:27:20 UTC
The Power Management settings page reports the following status:

PowerDevil was compiled without Xext support, or the XSync extension is not available.  XSync grants extra efficiency and performance, saving your battery and CPU.  It is advised to use PowerDevil with XSync enabled.

There are no relevant use flags for powerdevil.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge kde-base/kde-meta-4.2.0
2. Add the Power Management widget.
3. Click the Power Management widget and select 'More'
4. Click the 'Capabilities' tab
5. Read 'Status' description

Actual Results:  
The message above

Expected Results:  
To have a use flag to enable xsync / xext support in powerdevil so that it could take advantage of it.
