System control can (and should) be fine grained. Define "slow" when someone turns the framebuffer display off and you don't need to satisfy its minimum requirement while you do still need to keep something running in the background. So now we have "slow", "not so slow" and "fast". As I say, user control is by all means "I want fast" or "I want power save" but you can't define "fast" and "slow" to mean anything without examining the rest of the system state. -- Russell King (rmk@arm.linux.org.uk) The developer of ARM Linux http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/personal/aboutme.html
