No DPMS for Console on x86_64

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

 



Unfortunately it seems that setterm's powersaving (DPMS) capabilities depend an APM support in the kernel and are therefore unavailable on the x86_64 architecture.

This shortcoming may have seemed unimportant when Opteron started in the server segment but there is a growing number of AMD Turion mobiles that could greatly benefit from this feature.

I wonder how difficult it would be, to port APM to the x86_64 architecture or to provide DPMS support in the FBDev drivers.
