Hi I would like to know how to tell Fedora that my PC is a NoteBook.
How do I go about doing this??? Also how can I tell if i'm using apm
or acpi? the suspend command don't work as per the "Battery thread
earlier
--
1. if I try to suspend with the battery applet I get the following error
The Suspend command '/usr/bin/apm -s' was unsuccessful
One response i got was this....
The current kernels default to acpi instead of apm for power management.
I *believe*, although I'm not sure, that if you stop the acpid service
and start the apmd service then you can use apm for power management.

>Read these:
>man laptop_mode
>man laptop-mode.conf
>less /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.10/Documentation/laptop-mode.txt
No such entries in my PC for the above 3
