Thanks! The `system reconfigure` completes successfully but after a reboot I get > xrandr --listproviders Providers: number : 2 Provider 0: id: 0x66 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 4 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting Provider 1: id: 0x3f cap: 0x0 crtcs: 0 outputs: 0 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting I believe that if it weren't loaded, Provider 1 should not be listed. It's what happens when I blacklist the kernel module. Besides battery consumption is still higher than ideal. -- Pierre Neidhardt
