>From the HPET kernel documentation: The High Precision Event Timer (HPET) hardware is the future replacement for the 8254 and Real Time Clock (RTC) periodic timer functionality. Each HPET can have up to 32 timers. It is possible to configure the first two timers as legacy replacements for 8254 and RTC periodic timers.
According to some notes I've read, using the HPET may reduced the number of wakeups a second, so there is some small power savings to be made using it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871891 Title: Resume doesn't work on IdeaPad S10-3 with N10 video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/871891/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
