[PATCH 3/3] APM Screen Blanking fix

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A simple patch to fix APM assisted screen blanking (this at least fixes
a issue with the Geode LX BIOS).  Reposted from before with no changes.

APM screen blanking fix.

This patch fixes screen blanking on BIOSes that return
APM_NOT_ENGAGED when APM enabled screen blanking is not
turned on.
