@2disbetter I added the gpu frequency module, please update to play with it.
I think this will save some measurable energy, I’ll do some tests this week and try to get numbers.

ok, I updated, and I have it in psuspend now. Thanks! I will let you know if I feel the back of the display cool down some.
I let a full battery discharge, and unfortunately it took the same time to discharge than without this latest addition.
Minute explained me on IRC that this frequency was not the GPU, but another component of the computer.
We at least tried.

Psuspend has started causing the system to stop responding when wanting to resume. The system will get into a state where they keyboard does not respond, and you can’t access the LPC.
I have tried with the previous OG Sysctrl firmware and the most current. Same problem on both firmwares.
Has anyone else who has been using this regularly had any similar issues?
This is a pretty integral piece of software to me. I use it like suspend. When I am not using my Pocket, psuspend is active. Previously I went days and even weeks with psuspend being used when I finished using it. It worked flawlessly.
What is everyone else doing? Are you turning off your pocket when you are not using it?

I have been turning it off when using it. It’s not ideal. I haven’t ever tried Psuspend, but will see if I can get it running as I would love the option.
Just wanted to add that @amospalla is reviewing my psuspend logs and hopefully we will make some progress there. Amos is a rock star!

Some research into with @amospalla as lead to us disabling the CPU module in the script. However talks on IRC are also showing that there is an issue with the keyboard / sysctrl disconnecting. Light is being shed on the problem, and the good news is that we have a direction to go. Really appreciate all the work on this!
PSA for all using the awesome psuspend, if you have moved to the new keyboard firmware from @minute, please make sure you update psuspend via amospalla’s github repo.
The great news is that the new keyboard firmware seems to keep the keyboard from disconnecting and therefore psuspend is once again reliably saving some power.
