This is most useful if you have 1738 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus.

This can increase performance 1741 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a 1742 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's 1743 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this. 1744 1745 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar 1746 control registers on other processors can be easily supported 1747 as well: 1748 1749 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range 1750 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs.

For location 2470 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/apm-acpi.rst> 2471 and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from 2472 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. 2473 2474 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8) 2475 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off 2476 VESA-compliant "green" monitors. 2477 2478 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER 2479 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green" 2480 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver 2481 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase. 2482 2483 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't 2484 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get 2485 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to 2486 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling 2487 APM in your BIOS). 2488 2489 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random, 2490 "weird" problems: 2491 2492 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is 2493 enabled. 2494 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel 2495 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass 2496 the "no387" option to the kernel 2497 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel 2498 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling 2499 all but the first 4 MB of RAM) 2500 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked. 2501 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/> 2502 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings 2503 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM 2504 10) install a better fan for the CPU 2505 11) exchange RAM chips 2506 12) exchange the motherboard. 2507 2508 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the 2509 module will be called apm. 2510 2511if APM 2512 2513config APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND 2514 bool "Ignore USER SUSPEND" 2515 help 2516 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests.

From page 36 of the APM BIOS 2524 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically 2525 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend 2526 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls." 2527 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this 2528 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This 2529 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features 2530 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn 2531 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM 2532 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn 2533 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba 2534 T400CDT.

These idle calls 2544 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g., 2545 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or 2546 whenever the CPU becomes idle.

Note that this is only used by 2555 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight 2556 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to 2557 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this 2558 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your 2559 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console, 2560 especially if you are using gpm. 2561 2562config APM_ALLOW_INTS 2563 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls" 2564 help 2565 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to 2566 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving 2567 BIOS implementation.
