Hi, Pedro
    Which tool do you use to test the power usage? Can you describe it
clearly?

    Will you please also attach the output of intel_reg_dumper, dmesg on
the 2.6.32.x and 2.6.32.4 kernel? Please add the boot option of
"drm.debug=0x06" when getting the dmesg. The intel_reg_dumper tool can
be found in http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/app/ . (After
you download it, you can compile it by using the following procedure:
   >autogen.sh
   >./configure;
   >make;
   >make install )

thanks
   Yakui.
