Ok, I can go down to something like 100-200 by:
- stopping the gnome battery monitor 
- stopping the gnome cpufreq monitoring
- disabling dri (NoDRI), which stopped i915 interrupts, but as I 
  currently don't use 3D this shouldn't make a difference. Ah yes,
  on the website it is mentioned that there is already a patch for
  this, probably it didn't make it into Debian packages for now.

Ahhh, but this is *REALLY* a bad one. As long as I type and don't use
the touchpad I am down to 150 wakeups, but moving the mouse only once
from one window to the nextand woops I get several hundred new wakeups.
I guess we cannot do anything against this.


One last question, ok that the iwl3945 interrupt is high is obvious when
I am running a wlan link. But I have still stuff running and keeping
acpi near the top, around 60-90 wakeups per second, which is a lot.

Here the question: I remember faintly that the X server now keeps an eye
on the acpi socket and works in parallel with acpid. Could it be that
this is the source of the permanent acpi wakeups?

Or is there another way to check which program keeps acpi working soo
much.

Thanks a lot and all the best

Norbert
