Fedora install problem - laptop goes into standby mode
 
I'm trying to install fedora, but my laptop is frequently going into standby mode, I tried slackware 8.1 instead, and that didnt have the same problem, but couldnt go into X windows because it couldn't find the monitor, but it shows the monitor fine when im in the basic shell, any ideas/suggestions welcome.

So are you trying to solve the Fedora problem or the Slack problem?

If Fedora, make sure power mgmnt isn't loaded, usually apmd. Check by running:
chkconfig --list | grep apmd

Make sure it is off in all run levels.

Also check your laptop BIOS setting for power savings. I'm afraid I'm no help with SlackWare...

I've turned off apmd, but using that command it still shows some of them as "on" but i dont know how to turn those off, laptop still goes into suspend mode, even when im typing things in, any more suggestions?
