!Linux Compatibility Check
-From the Battery-Powered-mini-HOWTO " .. for APM to work on any notebook or energy-conscious desktop, the system BIOS ROM in the machine must support the APM standard. Furthermore, for APM to work with the Linux operating system, the system BIOS ROM must support either the 1.0 or 1.1 version of the APM standard, and it must also support 32-bit
protected mode connections. A system that supports APM 1.1 is preferred, as it provides more features that the device driver and supporting utilities can take advantage of."

APM support consists of two parts: ''kernel'' support and ''user-land'' support.
-For ''kernel'' support, enable the parameters in the corresponding kernel section. AFAIK not all features work with laptops. AFAIK the feature CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF works with most laptops.

The utilities for ''userland'' support may be found at
!WorldVisions. APMD is a set of programs that control the Advanced Power Management system found in most modern laptop computers. If you run a 2.2.x kernel and want to experiment, Gabor Kuti <seasons@falcon.sch.bme.hu> has made a kernel patch that allows you to ''hibernate'' any Linux system to disk, even if your computers APM BIOS doesn't support it directly.

-!PowerBooks don't support the APM specification, but they have a separate protocol for their PMU (Power Management Unit).

It was written by Stephan Leemburg <stephan@jvc.nl>, and is available from PPC distribution ftp sites (e.g. ftp://ftp.linuxppc.com/contrib/software/Utilities/System/).
