Hi all,
this is a new 2.6.20 module implementing a user inactivity trigger. Basically
it acts as an event sniffer, issuing an ACPI event when no user activity is
detected for more than a certain amount of time. This event can be successively
grabbed and managed by an user-level daemon such as acpid, blanking the screen,
dimming the lcd-panel light à la mac, etc...
Any idea how much power this saves? And for the vast rest of us who do
run X, this seems to parallel the work of a well-tuned screensaver.
