I think that you may have APM disabled in your CMOS setup? I think the APM VM86() call will detect this because it uses BIOS-specific code that knows about the CMOS setting, but the non-VM86() code ignores the CMOS setting (which can cause other, interesting problems, like being able to suspend, but the laptop not waking up on an event that should result in a "resume"). > PS.

I saw this go by on the SMP list; is anyone going to commit it? Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
