No it isn't yet: http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2004/debian-powerpc-200401/msg00324.html > And if it is, how do I enable it? Apply the patch (it applies cleanly against 2.6.1-ben1) and read Documentation/laptop-mode.txt, it's explained there. You can dowload version 7 from here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107373132824121&w=2 http://www.liacs.nl/~bsamwel/laptop_mode/laptop-mode-2.6.1-7.patch I've been using it since that day (10/01) without any problem at all (I've been using it since version 4 of the patch). Other people have reported it working fine for them on lkml. If you have critical data on your hd, I would suggest to wait until the "people who know the kernel" accept it as good (ie. it gets into mainline). -- Kiko
