config PM
bool "Power Management support"
---help---
"Power Management" means that parts of your computer are shut
off or put into a power conserving "sleep" mode if they are not
being used. There are two competing standards for doing this: APM
and ACPI. If you want to use either one, say Y here and then also
to the requisite support below.
Power Management is most important for battery powered laptop
computers; if you have a laptop, check out the Linux Laptop home
page on the WWW at or
Tuxmobil - Linux on Mobile Computers at
and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
.
Note that, even if you say N here, Linux on the x86 architecture
will issue the hlt instruction if nothing is to be done, thereby
sending the processor to sleep and saving power.
config PM_DEBUG
bool "Power Management Debug Support"
depends on PM
---help---
This option enables verbose debugging support in the Power Management
code. This is helpful when debugging and reporting various PM bugs,
like suspend support.
config SOFTWARE_SUSPEND
bool "Software Suspend (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PM && SWAP && (SUSPEND_SMP || !SMP)
---help---
Enable the possibility of suspending the machine.
It doesn't need APM.
You may suspend your machine by 'swsusp' or 'shutdown -z
