I hope I'm not mistaken, but I think you don't need acpi/apm support for
power save modes of monitors.
Try "xset dpms force off" in X, and see if it works.
xset +dpms should turn on dpms support for current X session.
Enabling dpms & setting timeouts can be done either from xorg.conf
(search for 'offtime' option) or from kde/gnome gui configuration tools.

Hi,
A while ago i had a system crash and i had to reinstall kubuntu from scratch.
The powersave before worked and it also work now in windows.
However, i can't seem to get it to work on the new installation.
both acpid and apmd do not work.
sudo acpid start
acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy
sudo apmd start
No APM support in kernel
I have kubuntu edgy updated.
Bios have apm enabled.
I also tried in the boot process to add acpi=force apm=off.
and acpi=off apm=force, though this method did not load the kernel.
I also tried installing powersaved.
What else can i do?
10x.
p.s.: i started with dapper and upgraded to edgy with adept.
and the kernel is
Linux Linux 2.6.17-10-386 #2 Tue Dec 5 22:26:18 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
