Just installed it. Now, of course, it needs some kernel features enabled that I left out during menuconfig. Sadly I can't find a list with requirements quickly. I still remember old powertop also wanted a few things you normally don't have in a kernel config on a standard productive box. So reconfiguring, recompiling and restarting. Well hopefully debugfs is enough. The tools itself is definitely among intel's better ideas. Though there is still a lot in a machine that you can't influnece - be it a hardware or driver limitation.

Heh, oh, good old readme. That happens when you install it by package manager and not downloading it manually. You lose contact with the readme files.
It seems I was just missing debugfs, it runs now after just one recompile. Thanks anyway.
Now I see quite a bunch of things it suggests to fix. More work.

Haven't tried the new version, but in 1.13 it recommended enabling the HDA sound timeout, even though it was enabled, just with a different timeout than powertop wanted. Does 2.x do that too? :P
