I'm having a few issues with APM and ACPI. I need ACPI for the battery status monitor and such, and my laptop fully supports it, so I'd like to use it. Anyway, the suspend command in the battery monitor uses `/usr/bin/apm -s` to suspend, and it doesn't work unless I pass the kernel "acpi=off apm=on" at boot. (Yes, I have done my research, and haven't found a good solution.) If I do this, the monitor is convinced that there is no battery present, and I can't get a percentage.
So, that's my dilemma. Anyone got any good advice? I'm using the standard kernel which has APM support (the `/usr/bin/apm -s` says it doesn't) and the standard setup for APM and ACPI.
You can replace the suspend command in the battery monitor with the appropriate script for ACPI. Alternatively, suspend using the laptop function keys.
You can only run one at a time of APM and ACPI. If your laptop supports only one, that's the one you have to use. If you include "acpi=off" as a kernel option, APM will run in its place.
Thanks!
