As for loading it automatically, if /etc/init.d/apmd is run on boot, it should load the module for you. You might have to use YaST to change the runlevels to start it. I'd stick it in runlevels 2, 3 and 5.
I have APMD set to start in levels 2,3,5 - yet at boot the boot message says something along the lines of
"Starting apmd -- not supported by kernel --- skipped"
:-{
Have you tried turning off ACPI support in the kernel? That's what's held my machine from having proper support for some power management stuff. At boot you can pass this is as a kernel parameter "acpi=off" via Grub or lilo. To do this everytime edit /boot/grub/menu.1st or /etc/lilo.conf and add to the line loading Linux accordingly.
It seems that the system cannot find the apm module on boot up ( rpm -q apmd confirms that apm is installed as does YAST ) but the module itself seems to be missing !!
Any suggestions anyone?
TIA

It cannot find the apm module because it does not exist. The kernel is compiled with apm, apm is not set as a module. I have a Compaq 1720US laptop and cannot get apm or acpi to work either. boot.msg shows that it cannot find apm in the bios and if I try to use acpi the system locks hard at boot every time. Funny thing is that apm worked with SuSE 7.3. Ken Schneider
