Hi Paul,

Running latest F11-for-XO1 (build 6) here on a couple of XOs here (one  
XO-B4 and one XO-1, I have another XO-1 for test but the manufacturer  
fat fingered the serial code in OF so it can't be unlocked), and must  
say energy saving is working rather well (better than previous XO  
released solutions). One unexpected UI behaviour (just considering the  
XO-1 here), is that once a machine sleeps, the only way to wake it is  
to press and hold the power button:

  - wiggling on the touch pad makes the power light turn, on but does  
not wake the machine :-(

  - pressing keys on the internal keyboard makes the power light turn  
on, but does not wake :-(

Pressing and holding the power button works to awaken the machine, but  
leaves me with the thoughts:

  - if I just tap the button, nothing happens, I have to hold for a  
good moment or so

  -  but if I press the button down for too long, I loose all my work  
as the machine will hard shut down

Regards,
--Gary
