Just been reading through your posts from last night, and wanted to let
you know I'm interested and willing to test patches too.

I have an 8600GTS based laptop, and have seen the same range of power
usage (ie have seen 14W in the page - presumably when I was using the
blob -, but can only get it down to 23W at the moment using Nouveau).
