Everyone I've talked to has had bad experiences with ACPI under Linux, but the older APM support tends to work fairly well in most cases. If you don't already have /proc/apm, you should be able to 'modprobe apm' to get power-management support. You probably also want to install the apmd package for userspace power-management support. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
