Hello again.

A problem that always have followed me since the first day on linux...

While choosing the option Turn Off in startx or in console, it does a shutdown process but it doesn't turn the power off to the machine, is there a solution for this?

My machine is a AMD XP 2000 with slack 9 on it. ...yes the board supports the turn off without the button ... windows does it...

thank you

you may have to load the apm module.

try (as root):

modprobe apm

root@Mustaf:/# modprobe apm
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o.gz: init_module: No such device
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o.gz: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o.gz failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o.gz: insmod apm failed
root@Mustaf:/#

and I've also tryed to run the linux kernel configuration and enabled two option about apm which were disabled. in the end the configurator tells me to run make symlinks dep... I get as a reply that there are no rules to do so...
