Bit of a simple newbie question I fear...... I've got Woody up and running on my laptop but must have missed something during installation as I don't have APM enabled in the kernel; I tried to get a GNOME battery monitor applet running without success, and the machine just hangs at 'Power Down' after I've shutdown. How do I reconfigure the kernel to fix this? Thanks in advance...
You need to load the APM module. Add the line: apmto your /etc/modules file. Or, if your laptop has ACPI, enable those modules instead. Also, to avoid rebooting, you can also load APM immediately as root with the command:
modprobe apm HTH. :) -- Darryl L. Pierce <mcpierce@telocity.com> Visit the Infobahn Offramp - <http://welcome.to/mcpierce> "What do you care what other people think, Mr. Feynman?"
