Sorry, miswording: s/faster/less frequent/ I'm not convinced CPU activity LEDs help either, BTW. It only takes the CPU getting crowbarred out of idle for a tiny amount of time before you start impacting battery life, and if the crapplication is only doing it every 30-60 seconds or so, I doubt you'd see it on the LED's.... that sort of thing might be acceptable if you have a 1-3 pound battery, but maybe much less so if you have a bettery which is cell-phoned sized. -- Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
