Hi all Hi
I was wondering if any of you guys have a lenovo notebook running linux.
I recently bought a lenovo, to replace my very old toshiba. The toshiba had allowed me to set most of the power management stuff through the BIOS so I simply enabled only the very basic ACPI in my kernel.
Now the lenovo's BIOS is not very extensive. Now I need help understanding, what options to enable in my kernel or can I just trust the BIOS that it is actually doing the right power management?
I just want the notebook to run as long and as cool as possible. I mostly connect to a plan9 for most of the cpu extensive stuff so running the system hot is not necessary to get the best performance.
Can sombody suggest which ACPI options to activate in the kernel ( example: cpu scalling, etc ) A starting point would be great, because I have ignored most of the ACPI stuff for so long that I dont know were to start.
you could start here: http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_use_of_Power_Management_features
thanks Fernan
