I am not sure you will get the same kernel after a recompilation, as as far as I remember most of the options are un-selected in the debian source package. As an example here are the settings I took in the APM section. It may be of some help as a starting point. I think it should work with most laptops. Don't forget to read the help carefully :) [*] Advanced Power Management BIOS support [ ] Ignore USER SUSPEND [*] Enable PM at boot time [*] Make CPU Idle calls when idle [*] Enable console blanking using APM [*] Power off on shutdown [ ] Ignore multiple suspend [ ] Ignore multiple suspend/resume cycles
