I have a thinkpad A21m notebook. It appears that I have only partial ACPI support and therefore all the power savings features as mentioned in KDE are disabled. I'm not sure how much ACPI support I really have, but I do have APM support based on previous installations on this computer and I have enough ACPI support for this to work under other Operating Systems. Admittedly I don't know how much power management is done through APM or ACPI under that other OS. But my question is fairly simple. I have added the package for apmd. But when I attemp any apm related functions, I get a message that apm is not supported in the kernel. Where is it?
I installed 8.2 on my Thinkpad T23 with the no-ACPI option and APM seems to work just fine. The standard Installation does, as you say, try to run ACPI and it isn't supported properly so you get errors. At 08:19 AM 6/14/2003 -0400, you wrote:

Thanks for sharing your experience here. I'll knock out the ACPI then. Do you have any wisdom regarding the tpctl package? -- The giraffe you thought you offended last week is willing to be nuzzled today.
