SECTION 11 POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROLS
The S3 ScreenToys Power Management controls provide an aid for conserving
power on notebook (laptop) and other power-sensitive systems. It is available on
selected systems running Windows Vista and Windows XP.
11.1 S3 ScreenToys Power Management
S3 ScreenToys Power Management has two basic modes for controlling the
level of power conservation:
Automatic Power Conservation Mode (Default setting) which lets the
S3 Graphics software decide the optimal setting for you.
Manual Power Conservation Mode which allows you to use a slider bar
to change between settings that conserve power (but reduce speed) or
increase speed (but use more power).
ACCESS: If your configuration supports power management through S3
ScreenToys Power Management, a menu option will be available through the
CHROME menu accessible by right click on the
taskbar icon, or from the
Advanced menu on the S3 ScreenToys window.
OPTIONS:
S3 ScreenToys Power Management options are applied globally, regardless of
display configuration. You cannot adjust settings unless you have selected the
Let me change other power plans (Advanced) checkbox.
