Description haarp 2012-02-06 20:48:21 UTC

xfce4-power-manager provides xfce4-power-information, which offers to display current processor wakeups on a per-process basis. This function however only works correctly when the TIMER_STATS kernel option is enabled (needs DEBUG_KERNEL to be visible).

The ebuild should notify the user about this.

The same goes for powertop (although powertop also notifies the user at runtime, which xfce4-power-information does not)
