1 Hi guys!
2
3 I've found that with the new release of the nvidia drivers (100.14.19) is it
4 possible to enable the "OnDemandVBlankInterrupts" option. In 2D mode VBLANK
5 is not used, only in a 3D mode. The old driver was generating these
6 interrupts in all modes, now, by enabling this option, interrupts are
7 generated only when they are needed. This let us save about 60 wakes up from
8 idle per second. You can fuond the new drivers on the ~x86 repo. The only
9 thing you have to do after installing the 100.14.19 version is to put in
10 your "Device" section of your xorg.conf the option
11 "OnDemandVBlankInterrupts" "true".
12 I hope this could be useful for someone.
