moin, moin, I've noticed this morning that my laptop ( now running 2.4.2 ) has a process, kapm-idled, which is eating my cpu when I'm idle. I'm wondering if this is a new idle daemon and what it does. AIX has such a beast. One of the other things I note is that my cpu isn't running very idle due to this beast. Should top ignore this thing when reporting cpu usage? Both it and gkrellm are counting it in calculating cpu usage. ciao, der.hans -- # der.hans@LuftHans.com home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.YourCompanyHere.net ;-) # Keine Ahnung, was ich dir sagen soll, # keine Ahnung und keinen (.)plan. -- die Toten Hosen
