@leifliddy Well, suspend/resume work with some notable caveats. Need to write it up.
@l1k Ok, tested this series, and works fine too. Also, you asked about which previous set of patches I had tested: they had commit dates of "Wed Jan 3 15:25:xy...
@mhkabir Excellent work! I played with this a bit, using the [apple_set_os.efi](https://github.com/0xbb/apple_set_os.efi) which works quite nicely. Turning off the dGPU saves quite a bit of power (dGPU only: 17.2W, dGPU+iGPU...
I measured the power consumption in several ways, but all of course with the power unplugged: `cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/current_now` (together with `/voltage_now`), via `powertop`, and via the Gnome "Power Statistics" utility....
To expand on what @arno01 wrote, I have been using pretty the same setup with one notable difference: > Notice that I am blacklisting the amdgpu here, otherwise it won't...
@renatolfc Interesting: this allows you to disable the dGPU before logging in? I'll play around with blacklisting amdgpu and later loading it explictly then. As far as your backlight issues...
