Comment 4 for bug 665806

Can't anyone shed some light on this? Isn't there a way to configure this power management frenzy? Seems like I'll have to pull Linux off my peer's machines, since it just behaves badly -- even if it's the machines behaving badly, but this does not count as long as they work in the preinstalled Windows. I don't want to insult people, but I am somewhat loosing my faith in non-geek Linux here.
