The docs are in the kernel documentation. I don't know the file name
where this documentation is, but you can see it if you run make xconfig,
go to "General Setup" and press the Help button of the option "Make CPU
idle calls when idle"

Also on a laptop is supposed to create power savings and reduced heat
output from the cpu.  Anyone know where the docs are for this?  "man
kapm-idled" produces nothing - easy to find documenmtation on the system
via man, info etc is getting worse as Linux grows up!

assist in accounting for the idel time; it uses no resources.

[expert] kapm-idled consuming all cpu

2001-12-12 Thread srsouza

Hi everybody!

   I installed Mandrake 8.1 on my laptop compap presario 1200, apparently
successfully. However, the kapm-idled is consuming 80% of my CPU!

   Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

   Thanks,

   Sergio
