Re: ACPI and some other Stuff

[Fernando Caprio Jr <maddog@atlas.ucpel.tche.br>]

Hello,

	Apm doesent seen to work on my compaq laptop. Look:

root@puppy:~# modprobe apm
/lib/modules/2.4.18-686/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.18-686/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-686/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.18-686/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o: insmod apm failed
root@puppy:~# 

Thanks

Fernando
