The apm.c looks ok to me... So here is the kernel segment of my kernel, which includes the apm feature.
[*] Power Management support [ ] ACPI support <*> Advanced Power Management BIOS support [ ] Ignore USER SUSPEND [*] Enable PM at boot time [*] Make CPU Idle calls when idle [ ] Enable console blanking using APM [*] RTC stores time in GMT [ ] Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls [*] Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off I'm using Debian Sarge with Kernel 2.4.20 (compiled by myself). On http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/apm.html there is something said about [*] Power off on shutdown (NEW) Where can i find this in my kernel, or otherwise, which kernel do I need to get this option...? I read the mail from Lars Riisgaard Ribe. It's an idea, but i'm using GKrellM and want to check my battery status. But thx for your help anyway... :) Greets Dom
