Power management under Solaris

The Solaris x86 power team is working on adding support for CPU frequency changing, CPU throttling and other power saving features. Solaris has supported power managment on SPARC for a long time and Solaris/x86 has some catching up to do.

Please send your comments and questions to laptop-discuss@opensolaris.org discussion forum.

frkit delivers prototype drivers; see Casper's blog.

To monitor battery status, use frkit to install the acpidrv driver and see Darren Moffat's blog for a prototype GNOME applet, or try a patched GKrellM (binary) [gkrellm.net].

Note: A battery driver and a GNOME gui has been integrated into OpenSolaris build 63.
