Notes

  • To configure the laptop mode scripts, edit /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf.
  • The laptop mode FAQ can be found at https://github.com/rickysarraf/laptop-mode-tools/wiki/FAQ
  • The revision history is included in the Documentation directory.
  • The original laptop mode documentation that was distributed with the Linux
