[07-13-03 20:05]: I have 8.2 installed on a laptop. Where can I find the kernel sources for APM support? I installed apmd, which reported "no support in kernel. I couldn't find the listing from make xconfig.
Where can I find this, and when I find it, where should I put it so that it will compile into the kernel?

[top quoting and full quote under corrected ...]
Not there, and I think it's because it's no longer supported, replaced by acpi.
It is there and is supported. pin apmd yelds: Name : apmd Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 3.0.2 Vendor: SuSE Linux AG, Nuernberg, Germany Release : 277 Build Date: Mon Mar 17 14:55:08 2003 Install date: (not installed) Build Host: Zert230.suse.de Group : System/Daemons Source RPM: (none) Size : 113525 License: GPL Packager : http://www.suse.de/feedback Summary : APM daemon Description : Contains a daemon that takes care about the battery capacity and triggers certain action depending on some power saving events like suspend or when one switches from/to AC power supply. There are tools to show the state of the battery (apm, xapm) and to send the machine to sleep for an scheduled amount of time. Includes: apm, apmd, apmd_proxy, apmsleep, xapm, and tailf
I don't care about all the bells & whistles. All I care about is a utility which can continuously tell me how much battery I have left.
And apmd does that. What was that story about giving/teaching and fish/fishing? gud luk, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
