The kernel will not run both APM and ACPI simultaneously. Find out which your notebook supports and deselect the other. If your notebook supports ACPI, it is better than APM. (although I've heard here that ACPI may not be fully supported in Redhat's current distro).
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Arthur Mueller Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 3:30 PM To: RedHat-List Subject: APM support on Laptops Hi everybody, The following situation: - Laptop Acer TravelMate 630 with Intel Speedstep processor 1.8 GHz - RedHat 7.3 - APM activated Typing # apm -v results in the following output: # APM BIOS 1.2 (kernel driver 1.16) # AC on-line, no system battery Why apm tells me I had my laptop plugged to AC-power if it is only running on batteries for half an hour? APM is activated in the BIOS and is even supported by Windows 2000 on the same machine. The Kernel is 2.4.20 and APM as well as ACPI is set and compiled. Where's the bug?
