This 2081e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features 2082e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn 2083e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM 2084e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn 2085e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba 2086e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without 2087e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg this feature. 2088e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2089e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgconfig APM_CPU_IDLE 2090dd8af076SLen Brown depends on CPU_IDLE 2091e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle" 20928f9ca475SIngo Molnar ---help--- 2093e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop. 2094e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as 2095e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle.

Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS 2401e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited 2402e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann to x86. 2403e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic 2404e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be 2405e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic 2406e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy 2407e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up. 2408e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always 2409e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual. 2410e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann 2411e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will 2412e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option 2413e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as 2414e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal 2415e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb 2416e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann and others enabled as fallback if a system framebuffer is 2417e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann incompatible with simplefb. 2418e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann 2419e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann If unsure, say Y. 2420e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann 2421e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgendmenu 2422e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2423e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2424e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgmenu "Executable file formats / Emulations" 2425e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2426e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgsource "fs/Kconfig.binfmt" 2427e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2428e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgconfig IA32_EMULATION 2429e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg bool "IA32 Emulation" 2430e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg depends on X86_64 2431d1603990SRandy Dunlap select BINFMT_ELF 2432a97f52e6SRoland McGrath select COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF 2433af1839ebSCatalin Marinas select HAVE_UID16 24348f9ca475SIngo Molnar ---help--- 24355fd92e65SH.
