I would have thought it's purely a BIOS function except for that last sentence.
You need the package apmd installed, and you need to use YaST or an editor to make it so that: START_APMD="yes" is in /etc/rc.config. If you do it by hand, don't forget to run SuSEconfig afterwards. I'd also recommend installing SuSE's APM-enabled kernel and .config file, so that you can examine which kernel options are safe and which ones aren't. From that .config file, go ahead and make the changes to other subsystems to build a kernel for your own needs if you like. Another package to consider (if you X server supports DPMS and you use KDE) is kdpms from [kpa] :). -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions jpennington@atipa.com | http://www.atipa.com Kansas City, MO, USA | 816-241-2641 x121 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
