Could this be fixed, please.
I have a Sony laptop and I am using APM because it simply works better
than ACPI on this particular laptop. Also dmidecode says my chassis is
of type 'Other'. So in the end laptop-detect tells me I don't have a
laptop!
Yet with the patches that have been posted so far adding APM support is
really not hard. I have put the pieces together and the patch below will
say a computer is a laptop if APM reports a battery. If not, then
nothing is changed so this should really have no negative impact on
desktops.
If the patch is not good enough, then please let me know why and I will
try to fix the issue.
