Thanks for the patch! I've been using the version 1.51 of apmd.c since yesterday. I can feel the difference with respect to the last version of apmd. Is it possible to add a new option to apmd for to select between the new and the old code?. I mean, eg: -C for use the "new" code with better SMP support and -O for "compatibility mode" with the old code for people with problematic machines.
