Makes a lot of sense. APM does not fully work with my laptop, which wants
ACPI. Matters got worse in RH7.3 over the RH7.2 updates kernels, and although
I used to be able to suspend, now if I even shut the lid, the screen will go
sleeping with no apparent chance of coming back. Lukily the keyboard still
accepts input, so that alt-ctrl-f1 followed by reboot will work. (I don't
need to do ctrl-z because I wrote a one line script that replaces startx and
calls startx with some as a backround process, redirecting stderr to a file.
Much better for diagnostic purposes).
So, what do I need to do to patch the kernel for ACPI? How long does it take
to recompile it? (may become a habit, to keep up with updates)
Do the patches change when a new kernel comes out, even if the to be patched
code wasn't touched in the new release? Can I combine all my settings in a
file so that next time when I recompile a kernel it knows what my preferences
are and automates the process?
