Just in case it might help, I have APM working perfectly on my Dell 7500, with 2.4.3 & 2.4.4, with the following kernel configuration: CONFIG_APM=y # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y # CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set and with apmd 3.0final-1. best regards, Calum.
