I assume that the real difference in folks' minds between S3 and hibernation is the 'belt + suspenders' protection of your session surviving a power outage. But I didn't know that there was such a small difference in terms of actual power savings. Knowing this now, I'm tempted to re-jigg SrvrPowerCtrl to offer just "sleep", ala OS X. Users could specify S3 or hibernation in the settings.
What do you think? Would 'simpler is better' really be better here? My own hardware setup is complicated by the use of a PS2+USB KVM switch. I've found that I've needed to disable every wakeup option in BIOS except for nic/pci/magic packet. Windows 7, by the way, implements 'hybrid sleep' (i.e. S3 with a hibernation image backup) by default. On my system, default Win7 sleep takes about 30 seconds to happen. Switching to straight S3 sleep requires the user to drill down through three layers of windows settings to disable 'Allow hybrid sleep'. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73443 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
