From page 36 of the APM BIOS 2099e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically 2100e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend 2101e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls." 2102e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this 2103e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This 2104e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features 2105e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn 2106e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM 2107e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn 2108e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba 2109e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without 2110e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg this feature. 2111e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2112e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgconfig APM_CPU_IDLE 2113dd8af076SLen Brown depends on CPU_IDLE 2114e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle" 21158f9ca475SIngo Molnar ---help--- 2116e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop. 2117e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as 2118e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle.

Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS 2424e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited 2425e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann to x86. 2426e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic 2427e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be 2428e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic 2429e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy 2430e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up. 2431e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always 2432e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual. 2433e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann 2434e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will 2435e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option 2436e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as 2437e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal 2438e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb 2439e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann and others enabled as fallback if a system framebuffer is 2440e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann incompatible with simplefb. 2441e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann 2442e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann If unsure, say Y. 2443e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann 2444e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgendmenu 2445e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2446e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2447e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgmenu "Executable file formats / Emulations" 2448e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2449e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgsource "fs/Kconfig.binfmt" 2450e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2451e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgconfig IA32_EMULATION 2452e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg bool "IA32 Emulation" 2453e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg depends on X86_64 2454d1603990SRandy Dunlap select BINFMT_ELF 2455a97f52e6SRoland McGrath select COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF 2456af1839ebSCatalin Marinas select HAVE_UID16 24578f9ca475SIngo Molnar ---help--- 24585fd92e65SH.
