Message-ID: <20011012101242.C19336@borg.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Not that it so far appears to be a problem, but where kapm-idled used to wait a tad after activity and then apparently gobble up all the extra CPU cycles (in 2.4.10-ac1) I now notice that xosview is showing CPU usage when things are quiet as hopping up and down, and top is reporting kapm-idled CPU usage as in the mid to high 50 percent range. Under 2.4.10-ac1 top used to put kapm-idled in the very high 90 percent range. Does this mean my laptop will get less battery life? Thanks, -kb, the Kent with too wimpy a battery as it is. P.S. I am on a Sony Viao PCG-Z505LE. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
