I'm having a few problems with power management (APM). I'm using
kernel-2.4.0-5mdk. Someone set it to 'Hardware clock uses GMT', which
means if I enter suspend state my clock gets set up 7 hours (I'm not sure
why I'm in GMT-5). I'd love to store my clock in GMT, but I can't because
I have Windows on the same PC and it can't deal with this.

Also, I can only enter suspend manually by pressing the power button (set
in the BIOS to suspend). RTC support is not loaded automatically, but
maybe I just need the corect alias command for rtc.o. This would let the
`apmsleep' command work. I have a serial mouse and it sems this is keeping
the PC from entering suspend on it's own. If I disable GPM it works. I
can't be in X at the time, only in console, so I assume this may also be
because of the X mouse driver.

And I get a couple problems when coming out of suspend.

I'll get 'gpm[613]: Skipping a data packet (?)' and 'USB device not
accepting new address' (only after the resume). Otherwise the USB port
detection seems like it went well, and gpm works fine too, aside from not
allowing my PC to enter suspend when it should be. There is currently no
devices plugged into the USB ports, so I'm not very worried about USB
right now. I am worried about having to leave my PC on for days and days
and never having it be able to suspend. I could disable gpm and make sure
it's in console, but I like gpm, I don't know why this is happening.
