Hey all...

I just got 8.1 up and running on my laptop but can't
figure out how to get apm (adv. power management -
standby and friends) working.  It worked out of the
box for me on prior SuSE installs with this particular
laptop.

When I go into the 'Runlevel editor' under Yast to
turn on the apm daemon, I get the following:

/etc/init.d/apmd start returned 6 (Program is not
configured.)
Starting apmd not supported by kernel..unused

Now I know what the English is telling me here, but
what's the course of action I need to take?  Is there
another module I need to have loaded on boot each
time?  Or did the install think my computer was a
desktop or something?  I'm stumped.

Any tips would be much obliged.

Sincerely,
Eric Pierce
