Two questions.

In my config file I have the apm0 device uncommented
but it does not show up during a dmesg. Is that OK?
Should the apm0 device NOT show up during a dmesg?

Also, what does this apm0 device do? In LINT is says

apm: Laptop Advanced Power Management (experimental)

and so it seems that it is for laptops, and not for my
"full size" pc.  And so it seems that it should do
nothing for this kind of computer.

In fact I have gone into the CMOS and enabled "stanby
mode" to engage after 20 mins. of idle time. But I
have noticed that my computer never does to into
standy mode.

Thanks for the help.

Wayne
