For location 2487 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/apm-acpi.rst> 2488 and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from 2489 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. 2490 2491 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8) 2492 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off 2493 VESA-compliant "green" monitors. 2494 2495 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER 2496 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green" 2497 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver 2498 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase. 2499 2500 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't 2501 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get 2502 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to 2503 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling 2504 APM in your BIOS). 2505 2506 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random, 2507 "weird" problems: 2508 2509 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is 2510 enabled. 2511 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel 2512 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass 2513 the "no387" option to the kernel 2514 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel 2515 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling 2516 all but the first 4 MB of RAM) 2517 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked. 2518 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/> 2519 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings 2520 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM 2521 10) install a better fan for the CPU 2522 11) exchange RAM chips 2523 12) exchange the motherboard. 2524 2525 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the 2526 module will be called apm. 2527 2528if APM 2529 2530config APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND 2531 bool "Ignore USER SUSPEND" 2532 help 2533 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests.

From page 36 of the APM BIOS 2541 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically 2542 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend 2543 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls." 2544 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this 2545 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This 2546 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features 2547 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn 2548 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM 2549 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn 2550 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba 2551 T400CDT.

These idle calls 2561 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g., 2562 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or 2563 whenever the CPU becomes idle.

Note that this is only used by 2572 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight 2573 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to 2574 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this 2575 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your 2576 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console, 2577 especially if you are using gpm. 2578 2579config APM_ALLOW_INTS 2580 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls" 2581 help 2582 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to 2583 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving 2584 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it 2585 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in 2586 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads.
