I am configuring the 3.5.7 kernel and it brought this up: ======================================================== CONFIG_PM_AUTOSLEEP:
Allow the kernel to trigger a system transition into a global sleep
state automatically whenever there are no active wakeup sources.
Symbol: PM_AUTOSLEEP [=n]
Type : boolean
Prompt: Opportunistic sleep
Defined at kernel/power/Kconfig:106
Depends on: PM_SLEEP [=y]
Location:
-> Power management and ACPI options
========================================================
but I am not sure what the impact of it will be. In particular, I would like
to avoid sluggishness in the off chance the laptop is thinking that it should
start placing devices into sleep, when I am still using the machine. I recall
some laptop option/service causing mplayer stopping and restarting when
running on battery in the past, so I am keen to avoid something similar.
Have you any experience of how this behaves?
