>From the Fedora Core project manager: _____________________________________________________________- ACPI support in the 2.4 kernel is very limited. We allow people to try it, but it caused too many problems to turn it on by default. In the meantime, the old standby APM is just as available as ever. Systems that do not supply APM functionality will have no power management capabilities. This includes many new laptops, unfortunately.
It is our hope that the 2.6 kernel will resolve this. We'll see. michaelkjohnson "Ever wonder why the SAME PEOPLE make up ALL the conspiracy theories?" ______________________________________________________________ On Thu, 2003-11-20 at 10:21, Wayne Wilson wrote: > Daniel L.
