APM nor supported in kernel?

zLinuxz · 08-14-2003, 02:57 PM

Hi guys, this is my first experience with Linux and Laptop...and I'm having some trouble setting up the APM or ACPI which would even be better.

When, I have recompiled many times the kernel, selecting support for APM or ACPI, but after I boot the kernel, and I type APM it continues to come up as:

No APM support in Kernel.

Do I need to install it from a different source??

This is a Fujitsu Lifebook laptop, and branew

I hope someone can help me out with this.

Many thanks.

The APM is probobly not working then. Sometimes it just wont work right on machines.

Suggestions:

1. Dont build APM AND ACPI, one or the other, they dont mesh.

2. Try building APM as a module, and then "modprobe apm", and see if it works.

hall-o

well, I haven't had success in getting either APM or ACPI to work in my laptop.

The funny thing is that when I type

apm -V

I get that the version of apm is 3.0.2

but once I type apm, then it tells me that there is No apm support in kernel.

Then I tried to compile for ACPI...that didn't work either....that actually worked less...lol

Can anyone else help out please?, appreciate it, thanks.
