if apm doesn't work, your computer probably uses ACPI, and if ACPI is compiled and it doesn't work, check your "dmesg" (command) to see if ACPI is running.

Yes you need to compile the power management support in the kernel. I don't exactly remember the option in make xconfig, but I'll try to find out.

It's probably this line which enables APM, but I can't answer for him.
That is the only way I've gotten it to work in Slack.
It doesn't work at all for me with ACPI -- only APM.

I got the same problem in Suse, but I'll surely try and solve it with this now.
What does apm stand for?
