The specifics depend on the machine and the BIOS. I was doing some resaerch on why keys on my thinkpad seemed to 'stick' and found that was blamed on APM interrupt calls. Switching to ACPI would fix that but break other things, such as my ability to use 'Fn' keys, and my kernel (2.4.20) would have to be recompiled with ACPI patches. I tried starting acpi on my box but I just got an error message.
If APM works on your machine, you may want to stick with it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben Southwood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, April 17, 2003 9:19 am Subject: apmd v acpi... > just wondering, with all this talk of apmd and acpi, which is > considered the better way to go? > > any suggestions, thoughts on the matter? > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
