Welcome to the Laptop Mode Tools wiki

Laptop Mode Tools is a laptop power saving package for Linux systems. It allows you to extend the battery life of your laptop, in several ways. It is the primary way to enable the Laptop Mode feature of the Linux kernel, which lets your hard drive spin down. In addition, it allows you to tweak a number of other power-related settings using a simple configuration file.

Installation Install a package from the packages page. If you are going to use this on a non-laptop machine, be sure to read the FAQ first.

Internationalization
