can't verify UP_APIC to have any influence (Toshiba Satellite 4030, 2.4 kernel). > I am also having problems with APM, but on a different laptop.

That seems to be a configuration issue of your laptop. You can choose wether the power switch triggers a suspend or powers off. > Closing the panel will not work either, I just hear a beep and nothing > happens. > I can suspend it with 'apm --suspend', though, and it works fine. The beep indicates that your 'top's BIOS signals a suspend. But you can somewhere force to ignore hardware-generated APM events. (did not test but dpkg-reconfigure apm might help) Sounds as if it were something like that. But you can easily test - put the power button to "suspend mode", if Linux ignores it then you'reprobably ignoring hardware-generated APM suspend events. Dietz
