That is, things like 'shutdown -p now' don't work, both 'apm' and 'apmd' just return 'device not configured', etc. Interestingly, at least 'shutdown -p' does work with ACPI anyway :) Of course, maybe I'm just misunder- standing the whole thing anyway... Is power management hardware == APM? On Fri, Jan 05, 2001 at 07:48:48AM +0200, Graham Wheeler wrote: > Warner Losh wrote: > > > > APM is standard.
