Well, I have difficulties understanding the text of the LINT kernel, if could could answer two questions? What exactly does APM_IDLE_CPU do? From LINT it is unclear for me if this option is "better" and should be enabled if my laptop supports. Or is it better *not* to have it if my laptop doesn't need it? What exactly does it do, BTW? As I understand, APM_BROKEN_STATCLOCK is needed only for some laptops. How do I tell whether I need it? Crash? Wrong clock? Anything else?
