MsgRepeatMinutes
Valid values:
0 to 65535
Default value: 1
When ApmEventDialogs=1 , warning dialogs are displayed. The
MsgRepeatMinutes entry indicates the interval at which the warnings should be
repeated, if the warning condition remains. The default value is one minute
when this switch is not present. A value of zero causes the messages to display
every time the warning condition is checked.
SuspendSeconds
Valid values:
0 to 65535
Default value: 60
Sets the suspend timeout length by indicating the number of seconds that must
pass with no user or system activity before the system automatically suspends.
A value of zero disables suspend timeouts.
BacklightSeconds
Valid values:
0 to 65535
Default value: 30
Sets the display backlight timeout length by indicating the number of seconds
that must pass with no user (pen or keyboard) activity before the backlight is
turned off. A value of zero disables backlight timeouts.
ApmAcDebouceMs
Valid values:
0 to 65535
Default value: 1000
This entry sets the debounce period for power change broadcasts, which typically
occur when the unit is inserted into or removed from the dock. The debounce
period starts after a power change is seen and ends when no further power
changes are seen for the debounce period. This should not need adjusting.
ApmDosOemEvents
Valid values:
0, 1
Default value: 1
This entry disables the broadcast of APM events (defined by us) to DOS drivers
and TSRs. Windows drivers and applications are not affected. This disabling is
done to sidestep broken behavior in some DOS TSRs and drivers that monitor
power management event broadcasts, specifically the current PC Card
management software from SystemSoft.
DOS drivers examine only the lower eight bits of the event ID. OEMĆdefined
events are 16 bits, so the broken DOS drivers misidentify the events. This entry
defaults to 1 if not present, but sets it to 0 if using the SystemSoft PC Card
drivers. Also, if the
ApmFixSystemSoft
entry is set to 1, this entry is forced to 0.
