3) APM or ACPI ?
I have tried both and can't make a choice, does anyone have any experience to share ?
My Notebook is to old for ACPI *g*.
If you have a choice, great.
I didn't.
I was referring more to Jonathan's statement. I don't really have a choice either.
5) Framebuffer or not ?
Is framebuffer power consuming ?
I would choose framebuffer over X anytime, because its a lot less CPU/Memory consuming. I was told that Links and Mplayer run in FB without problems.
I use X mainly, but I still have the framebuffer enabled. I'm having some nasty issues switching back and forth between console an X that I havent looked into solving. It depends on your use. Do you merely open alot of xterms and do your work in there?
Wasn't that the reason for wm's being developed? *g*
You might be better off with framebuffer with 12 (instead of 6)
consoles, or use screen.
Thats not a question of FB, but of your inittab. I currently have 8 consoles.
I know, but if you are going to use X and have xterms all over, you dont really need a dozen consoles. If you were using framebuffer alone, it might be worth considering, or you could use screen instead/as well.
