The logic is like this: if LMT_CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT is > nonzero, then *we* shouldn't do it because laptop mode tools already > does this. So we set our flag to N if the LMT flag is set to nonzero!
I see... Hmm... That's some sort of catch 22 situation then. If CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT=0, acpi-support will do hd power management. If CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT=1, laptop-mode will do hd power management. I have both the acpi-support and laptop-mode-tools packages installed, and I don't want any of these to do hd power management. I don't see how I can achieve that by just modifying the flag value in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf. The reason for wanting to stop 'hdparm -B 254' from executing is that it _some times_ it locks up my laptop at boot, when on AC. The only way to get around is to power cycle and reboot. I don't like that. I didn't figure out yet what to blame. Cheers, -- cii -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
