Hibernate is necessary, proprietary driver is not so necessary
sábado, 24 de novembro de 2007I used to leave the computer working constantly, mainly to contribute to project Folding@Home (Fórum PCs team). Some days ago, however, Augusto Campos reported a 30% reduction in the electricity bill simply by not leaving the computer turned on 24/7 anymore. I tried putting my computer to hibernate, but my video card’s proprietary driver was impairing X restoration. I replaced it with the free driver, and since then I’m much happier for many reasons.
