I have read the thread.
A few points :
Can an application spoof 'top' into reporting a CPU usage that is not really
there ? If it is just 'reporting' the NOT CPU usage, how does that make its
way to 'top' as actual CPU usage.
A bit of perseverance and, like the inetd, you can get it to the
you now what idle mean ?
There's no need to be rude !
All I was doing was reporting that on the Mandrake 2.4 kernel gtop reports
kapm-idled as using somewhere between 40 and 80% CPU while on the Red Hat 2.4
kernel it is reported as 0%. And it would appear that I'm not alone. I could
post a
If it "doen't do anything" then why is it using 40 - 80% CPU resource ?
You really should read the message thread he pointed you to (URL included
below). It IS NOT using 40 - 80% CPU resource. It IS reporting that the CPU
is IDLE for 40 - 80% of the time. Worry if it drops down to 0%.

In a cooker fresh install (kernel 2.4) , i got it work correctly (SW stat with 0%

What kernel version do you have ??
I just remarked also i have 640-60 % CPU used by this thing with a
2.4.0-0.13mdk, on a fresh

Something called kapm-idled was consuming 50-86% CPU usage !
I happen to have a copy of Red Hat's 4.0.1-37 kernel, so I gave that a try.
gtop revealed that kapm-idled was still there, but now using a far healthier
0%. So what is kapm-idled ?
Hello,
I was wondering why my PC at work was running a bit slow. It's a P3 600MHz
with an 8Mb ATI Rage video card and 256Mb of RAM.
I was using the 2.2.17 kernel, XF 3.3.6 and KDE 1.1. A few hdparm refinements
etc and the system flew ! I've now gone to using kernel-2.4.0-0.12mdk,
