To: Jens Axboe Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Mr. Axboe, What exactly does your laptop-mode patch for 2.4.21-rc2 do? I've read through parts of it and it appears to add logic to the VM which causes it to do things at a certain time, as specified by userspace. Unfortunately I can't puzzle much else out of it, and I can't run it yet. You;ve also said that it adds a "non-significant" amount of battery time. How much battery time do you mean (10%, 15%, 15min, etc...) TIA Brad Chapman __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com
