NVIDIA AwayMode Driver
=======================
Introduction:
Away Mode is an OS feature originally introduced with Update Rollup 2 for Microsoft
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Away Mode was conceived as a new power management
usage model for media PCs that allows the computer to appear off to the user while the
system continues to perform tasks that do not require user input, such as recording
television and viewing Media Center Extender sessions.
Requirements:
The Away Mode Device will appear after BIOS has defined the Away mode device and ACPI
control method in the ACPI namespaces.
For the platform which Away Mode device has been defined in BIOS, that means the Away Mode
is ready to work on Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 with Update Rollup 2
and Windows Vista, for the other operatiing system like Windows XP or Server 2003, a null
INF is needed to remove the unresolved hardware detection (YELLOW BANG!).
1. For Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 with Update Rollup 2,
Microsoft has inbox Away Mode Driver included, NVIDIA Away Mode Driver is not needed.
2. Windows Vista will provide much of the same functionality that Away mode provided for
the Update Rollup 2 of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, with one notable exception:
the computer¡¦s power LED no longer toggles when the computer transitions in and out of
Away mode.
To retaining the LED toggle, we need the NVIDIA Away Mode driver to be installed which
will notifies the BIOS when the operating system transitions in and out of Away mode by
Away Mode Set Mode (SMOD) control method.
3. For the other operating system, Away Mode is not supported so the user has to disable
the Away Mode device in BIOS, but for the BIOS that didn't has an option to disable the
Away Mode device,
An null Away Mode INF is needed to remove the unresolved hardware detection (YELLOW BANG!)
in Windows Device Manager.
