Tested Debian Bullseye RC2 - no Desktop Environment (GUI) appended to /etc/sources on deb lines: contrib nonfree apt install firmware-misc-nonfree apt install powertop powertop --auto-tune run as a service at boot /etc/default/grub contains GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet consoleblank=5" # update-grub # cat /sys/module/kernel/parameters/consoleblank 5 (screen is blanked) # cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/graphics/fb0/blank (no value) The dmesg errors are gone. The disk was repartitioned during install. There is no longer a drop in power consumption at console blanking. We're back to +25%. These do not have the desired power reduction effect: echo 1 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/graphics/fb0/blank (no change in power consumption) echo > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/graphics/fb0/blank (disables blanking, screen blanks again after 5 seconds, same level of power consumption) attempted again: echo 1 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/graphics/fb0/blank (no change in power consumption) It seems no longer possible to use these settings as they were to reduce power consumption. It seems power consumption reduction by the turning off console is not working.

The power consumption measurement in my previous message using RC2 was executed wrong. A USB key added to the power consumption. The conclusions based on that are wrong. New test result after reboot: +6% compared to Debian 10. The same power consumption level as in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=990162#31 .
