i install the 1.61 version

it works well

with powertop i can get a diagnosis of the powersaving features not enabled by default with mandriva 2010.2
i can test it to know if there is some trouble for example my mouse is not restart when suspended
then
with laptop mode
- i can enable all the not enabled powersaving features showed by powertop
except "audio codec management" and "writeback timeout"
- i can exclude from powersaving my mouse

for "audio codec management" (laptopmode has conf file for this but it doesn't work)
powertop --htmpl indicates to put the following command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local file
echo '1' > '/sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save'

for "writeback timeout"
powertop --htmpl indicates to put the following command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local file
echo '1500' > '/proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs'

only if you have,
to avoid lag when running menu, launching app and to avoid short freezes with VLC
then
put the following command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local file
echo 80 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold

80 is in my case, you must adjust to your case

method to adjut the up_threshold :

by step of "10" decrease from "90" till you supress lag or freeze
