x200s eats power while on hibernate

[Dot Deb]

I'm running debian/sid on a x200s.

Some time ago (don't know exactly when) it started this strange
behaviour of using battery power while on hibernate with AC
disconnected.

Today I made a check: 4% in 3 hr.

I don't know what to do to understand.
Any idea is very welcome.

4% in 3 hours is pretty de minimis

sorry but probably I haven't explained the situation clearly:
this doesn't happen in __suspand__ status where some drainage is expected
but in hibernation state which is equivalent to switching the computer off.

Wonderful. I was start thinking I'm starting to become paranoid ...
Actully this solves the problem.

However I'm a bit surprised the type of hibernate policy cannot be set
in some /etc/default/pm/<sthg> and one is forced to use hooks.

Anyway ...

Thank you very much,
Alberto

Actually yes, it looks like you can override the behavior by creating a
file with the line "HIBERNATE_MODE=shutdown" in /etc/pm/config.d/ (works
here on Fedora).

Cheers,
