That was my impression from reading the project website. I'll probably wait for it to get a little mature before I try it. Either that or wait until I upgrade to woody. > I run 2.4 for other reasons and occasionally trial ACPI again but, at > the moment, stick with APM. It works and stuff. :) Unfortunately my BIOS seems to support only ACPI, not APM. The bad news is that there's no way for me to check how much battery life I have left. The good news is that the BIOS does handle sleep and hibernate perfectly. Lots of APM users seem to be having trouble with that. Walt
