Yeah, I thought that APM was APM, but the apm device does nothing
on my desktop with power management hardware...  That is, things like
'shutdown -p now' don't work, both 'apm' and 'apmd' just return
'device not configured', etc.  Interestingly, at least 'shutdown -p'
does work with ACPI anyway :)  Of course, maybe I'm just misunder-
standing the whole thing anyway...  Is power management hardware
== APM?
