Ah yeah. Sounds good. Well, I'm no longer using the RedHat kernel - instead I installed 2.4.20 from kernel.org. So the ACPI-patches should work. I'll keep you up to date - weather I succeed or not. Here in Germany it's going to be very very late... :-) Regards, Arthur Miller On Tue, 2003-02-11

Everything I have ever read on power management states that the kernel will unload the ACPI stuff if it then loads APM. The other thing to get ACPI running is to turn APIC off as it conflicts. The problem with the kernel patches is you need to find an ACPI patch for the specific Redhat kernel

Yea, the notebook should support ACPI as it is only one week old. In a very detailed article on ACPI with Linux some geeks write that 1. you still need APM. Why, dont' ask me. But I try removing it from the kernel. 2. currently only SuSE 8.1 distributes a patched kernel with full ACPI support. All

The kernel will not run both APM and ACPI simultaneously. Find out which your notebook supports and deselect the other. If your notebook supports ACPI, it is better than APM. (although I've heard here that ACPI may not be fully supported in Redhat's current distro). -Original Message- F
