How do I install APM in slackware 9.1. When I installed RedHat 9.0 it did it automatically.
I chose a full installation, so I should have everything.
Jeempc
A kernel with APM enabled?
The apmd daemon up & running?
X set up for power saving?
I guess all three. I have a laptop and I want to be able to monitor the battery levels and set up a power scheme.
Here is the error message:
Your computer doesn't have the Linux APM (Advanced Power Management) or ACPI software installed, or doesn't have the APM kernel drivers installed - check out the Linux Laptop-HOWTO document for information on how to install APM.
