#Installation (without compilation) I don't recomend copy my precompiled kernel 'cause some of features (like hibernation) may not work. But if you know the risk and still want to copy it here u are.

#Turning on RC6pp and other poversaving features Intel-ring sync, enabled deepest RC6 states, enabled frame buffer compression and enabled lvds downclock

  • copy gpu.conf to /etc/modprobe.d/

#If it doesn't work try this out:

  • edit /etc/default/grub
  • Find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
  • Example look like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i915.enable_rc6=7 i915.enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 i915.semaphores=1"
