This is most useful if you have 1759 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus.

This can increase performance 1762 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a 1763 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's 1764 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this. 1765 1766 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar 1767 control registers on other processors can be easily supported 1768 as well: 1769 1770 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range 1771 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For 1772 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs. 1773 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two 1774 MTRRs.

It is also used by some very old 2429 threading libraries. 2430 2431 Enabling this feature adds a small amount of overhead to 2432 context switches and increases the low-level kernel attack 2433 surface.

Many "green" 2506 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver 2507 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase. 2508 2509 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't 2510 much point in using this driver and you should say N.

From page 36 of the APM BIOS 2550 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically 2551 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend 2552 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls." 2553 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this 2554 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This 2555 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features 2556 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn 2557 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM 2558 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn 2559 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba 2560 T400CDT.

These idle calls 2570 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g., 2571 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or 2572 whenever the CPU becomes idle.

Note that this is only used by 2581 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight 2582 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to 2583 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this 2584 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your 2585 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console, 2586 especially if you are using gpm. 2587 2588config APM_ALLOW_INTS 2589 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls" 2590 help 2591 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to 2592 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving 2593 BIOS implementation.
