Hi,
I've just found that when using apmd with automatic performance mode
without battery connected, performance is set to minimum. I often
detach my battery when using AC for a long time. It's easier for me to
have highest performance when AC without battery and 'apm -H'.
I'm proposing patch that will do aditional check if there's battery and
if it's absent increase performance up to 100%. This is simple solution
which I'm using and I think that it's good extention for automatic
performance mode.
Cheers,
pmp
