APM & or ACPI Power Management for notebook ?

[Lud Professor <lebaronlibre@free.fr>]

I try tu put the APM power management ON to compile 
a 2.6.8-1 kernel but i think it's not possible with a x86_64 architecture. 
( i've got a amd64 3000+ with a via82xx chipset) 
Is it wrong ? because i can't see any options for the APM on the 
kernels .config and on make menuconfig.

It's just to have the battery stats working and to shutdown properly  whithout 
i  press the power button after the last kernel message ACPI_POWER_OFF called

Thanks.
