intel_display_power_disable(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 intel_display_power_disable(9) — from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in the Kernel API Manual (yes, the whole fancy manual, we're being official today 🎀) and honestly? it's a lil two-line baddie that just turns the auto-pilot off. let's get into it 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

intel_display_power_disable — literally just disables the toggling of display power wells. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void intel_display_power_disable (struct intel_display *display );

see that void up front? yeah, nothing's coming back to you, she gives and doesn't take (well, technically she doesn't give either — she just stops something. main character energy honestly 👑).

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • display — the display device instance 🖥️ like, the actual display thing you're doing the thing to. you gotta hand her the device, she's not gonna guess bestie.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what she does is: she disables the ondemand enabling/disabling of the display power wells ✨

read that again — the ondemand enabling and disabling. she's not touching the wells themselves, she's shutting off the whole auto-toggle vibe check. the wells can no longer just vibe their way on and off whenever they feel like it 🙈

and if you're sitting there like "ok but which power wells tho??" — bestie, same, and the answer is right there: see intel_display_power_enable for which power wells this call actually controls. that's where the list lives. go look. iykyk 🦋

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the whole friend group, assembled 💜

💀 quick reminder that intel_display_power_enable is the one that tells you which power wells are in play here — don't @ me, @ the manpage.

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🌈 source vibes come from ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display, dated October 2026, all wrapped up under the intel_display_power_disable(9) title ✨ slay, go forth and disable responsibly 🎀💖
