############################################################################### # # Configuration for Laptop Mode Tools # ----------------------------------- # # There is a "system" to the configuration setting names: # CONTROL_something=0/1 Determines whether Laptop Mode Tools controls # something # LM_something=value Value of "something" when laptop mode is active # NOLM_something=value Value of "something" when laptop mode is NOT # active # AC_something=value Value of "something" when the computer is running # on AC power # BATT_something=value Value of "something" when the computer is running # on battery power # # There can be combinations of LM_/NOLM_ and AC_/BATT_ prefixes, but the # available prefixes are different for each setting. The available ones are # documented in the manual page, laptop-mode.conf(8). If there is no LM_/ # NOLM_ in a setting name, then the value is used independently of laptop # mode state, and similarly, if there is no AC_/BATT_, then the value is used # independently of power state. # # Some options only work on ACPI systems. They are marked ACPI-ONLY. # # Note that this configuration file is a fragment of shell script: you # can use all the features of the shell scripting language to achieve your # desired configuration. # # # Modules # ------- # # Laptop Mode Tools modules have separate configuration files, that can be # found in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d. Please look through these configuration # files as well, there are many useful power saving tools in there! # ############################################################################### ############################################################################### # Enable/Disable laptop-mode-tools execution # ------------------------------------------ # Set it to 0 to completely disable laptop-mode-tools from running ############################################################################### # ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE_TOOLS=1 ############################################################################### # Configuration debugging # ----------------------- ############################################################################### # # Set this to 1 if you want to see a lot of information when you start/stop # laptop_mode. # VERBOSE_OUTPUT=0 # Set this to 1 if you want to log messages to syslog LOG_TO_SYSLOG=1 # Run in shell debug mode # Enable this if you would like to execute the entire laptop-mode-tools program # in shell debug mode.

This includes the kernel "laptop_mode" feature, which # allows your hard drives to spin down, as well as various other settings which # can be tweaked by laptop mode tools. You can enable or disable all of these # settings using the CONTROL_... options further down in this config file. ############################################################################### # # Enable laptop mode power saving, when on battery power. # ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE_ON_BATTERY=1 # # Enable laptop mode power savings, even when on AC power. # This is useful when running as a headless machine, in low power mode # ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE_ON_AC=0 # # Enable laptop mode when the laptop's lid is closed, even when we're on AC # power?

Use this # when you have a battery that reports the wrong information, that confuses # laptop mode tools. # # Disabling data loss sensitive features is ACPI-ONLY, and it only works if # your battery gives off frequent ACPI events to indicate a change in battery # level. # # NOTE: If your battery does NOT give off battery events often enough, you can # enable the battery-level-polling module to make this work.
