my Dell latitude c640
with debian,i compile the kernel to 2.6.7
when config i choose ACPI support
but now when i halt the sys
the screen last "Power Down",but didnt shut the power

now should i recompile the kernel to change acpi to APM?
or is there good method to settle it?

I'm using Debian and here's the Power management portion from my kernel (2.6.6 config - shouldn't matter). Halting works for me.

Code:

[*] Power Management support
[ ]   Software Suspend (EXPERIMENTAL)
[ ]   Suspend-to-Disk Support
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support  --->[*] ACPI Support
    < >   AC Adapter
    < >   Battery
    <*>   Button
    <*>   Fan
    <*>   Processor
    <*>     Thermal Zone
    < >   ASUS/Medion Laptop Extras
    < >   Toshiba Laptop Extras
    [ ]   Debug Statements
    [ ]   Power Management Timer Support
APM (Advanced Power Management) BIOS Support  --->
    < > APM (Advanced Power Management) BIOS support
CPU Frequency scaling  --->
    [ ] CPU Frequency scaling

Hope that helps.
