This is most useful if you have 1758 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus.

It is also used by some very old 2428 threading libraries. 2429 2430 Enabling this feature adds a small amount of overhead to 2431 context switches and increases the low-level kernel attack 2432 surface.

Many "green" 2505 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver 2506 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase. 2507 2508 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't 2509 much point in using this driver and you should say N.

From page 36 of the APM BIOS 2549 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically 2550 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend 2551 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls." 2552 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this 2553 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This 2554 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features 2555 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn 2556 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM 2557 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn 2558 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba 2559 T400CDT.

These idle calls 2569 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g., 2570 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or 2571 whenever the CPU becomes idle.

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