Package: laptop-mode-tools Version: 1.49-1 Severity: minor Hi,
since the new laptop-mode-tools upgrade, the intel-hda-powersave.conf file has a bit changed, with new variables appearing. The following text is a bit misleading: ---- ############################################################################### # Intel HDA power saving settings # ------------------------------- # # If you enable this setting, laptop mode tools will automatically set the # powersave mode of Intel HDA audio chipsets. This setting does not hurt, so # there are no AC vs. battery settings: if CONTROL_INTEL_HDA_POWER is set to 1, # the powersave mode is always enabled. # ############################################################################### # Control INTEL HDA audio chipset power? CONTROL_INTEL_HDA_POWER=0 # Handle power savings for Intel HDA under specific circumstances BATT_INTEL_HDA_POWERSAVE=1 LM_AC_INTEL_HDA_POWERSAVE=0 NOLM_AC_INTEL_HDA_POWERSAVE=0 ---- So the “the settings does not hurt” (but is disabled) and we're told there is no AC vs. BAT settings. But, later, we find BATT, LM_AC and NOLM_AC settings (what's the difference with LM_AC and NOLM_AC? Wether laptop-mode is started or not?) The text say that “laptop mode tool will automatically set the powersaved mode”, but later your say “if CONTROL_INTEL_HDA_POWER is set to 1, the powersave mode is always enabled.” I guess it has to do with the fact that laptop-mode isn't always active, and thus we have multiple activations/deactivations status, but the phrasing isn't really clear and I guess it could be improved, because I'm not sure I understand exactly what it does and when it's active (and why not it's not enabled by default).
