I /believe/ it only disables APM. Either that, or what it disables, KDE |
17 |
later enables due to the settings I have in it. In any case, it works the |
18 |
way I expect, that being I don't get the warning, but my monitors continue |
19 |
to go into power saving mode after the usual timeout, in X/KDE. |

Naturally, try it. If it works for you, use it. If it doesn't, don't. |
22 |
However, I can't see that specifically turning off something that the |
23 |
warning says is disabled anyway, thus avoiding that warning, will change |
24 |
anything except getting the warning. <g> |
