You have to enable APM in the kernel and rebuild the kernel. Doing so on some motherboards causes problems with the system clock, which may be why it's off by default. You can fix it in the GENERIC kernel by changing "disable" to "enable" on the apm device line. However, if you're going to build a kernel, you might as well strip out the devices you don't need while you're at it. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
