Need you to test current draw when display monitor is off. Also 2 more devices to disable!

I want to avoid loading Intel's graphics driver and am wondering if those video chips power down when the display is off. Can you test for this?

Under Device Manager, make sure "show hidden devices" is checked. You can disable these 2 under "Non-Plug and Play Drivers":

  1. 1394... - this is the firewire device and should be disabled when not using it.
  2. gdrv


Disabling 1394 device yielded improvements:-)
