Description:
I have run powertop --calibrate a lot of times. If I run powertop, it says "cpufreq_stats failedLoaded 750 prior measurements" and after that, it runs. Another thing is that I noticed that when I run powertop --calibrate, at the beginning of calibration the program has this output: "/usr/bin/xset: unknown option force" and I think that this error may make the calibration wrong. In fact, maybe it's related, if I run powertop, I see an high use in terms of watt by Display backlight... maybe it's related.


Additional info:
* package version(s): PowerTOP version 2.14
* Under Wayland, and kernel 5.12.9-arch1-1 (but I have this issue in all kernel that I tried)
This task depends upon

other useful info is that if I decrease brightness to minimum, "Display backlight" is always at the same value, like if decreasing brightness does not make any difference.

Looks like an upstream issue [1].
