The laptop brand is Compal (yes yes&#8230;I know) and it doesn&#8217;t come with auto screen dim power settings in BIOS. I would really like to know why XP doesn&#8217;t have that pretty OS X feature which dimms the screen on laptop automatically when you are not working (power saving options). I couldn&#8217;t find 3rd party implementation of this aether.<br \/>\n<!--more--> I tested SpeedswitchXP, little utility that switches processor speed &#8211; my best guess is &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t do squat. Since Intel already introduced this into mobile cpu&#8217;s. I tested some shitty 1996 battery extender apps &#8211; no luck. One thing I find very annoying is the laptop screen dimmer built into XP. I have no idea why it does not remembers my settings.<\/p>\n<p>Example &#8211; I am on AC power and I set screen brightness to maximum. Then I unplug AC power and dimmer doesn&#8217;t apply minimum brightness settings. When I apply it manually (FN+F4), and swtich to AC power, screen undimms, then I disconnect AC, screen goes to low brightness. After standby or hibernation settings are forgot. When I go to battery power, screen does not dimm it self.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If somebody has any useful tips, please &#8211; do tell! :) Since I got my new Intel T2400 CPU powered laptop, I can&#8217;t get more than 2 hours of battery work time with it.
