APM + KDE3 bug, i guess...

[Paulo Lopes <plopes@juventude.fdti.pt>]

Hi,

I've a laptop with Debian Woody with KDE 3.0.5 only with stable 
packages, and when i don't use it for a while the KDE turns on the 
screen saver, and after a while the APM subsystem turns the LDC off to 
save power. This works fine when i'm connected to power. When i'm on 
battery it works fine until the time that APM turns my LCD off. When 
ever this happends, the LCD turns on and the system crashes! (the 
keyboard or mouse does not respond and even if i try to get into the 
laptop from another computer from the network, the LAPTOP seams to be 
offline.)

Is this a bug? or do i need any patch to my kernel? i've kernel 2.4.18 
and if i'm not mistache it worked fine on KDE 3.0.3 (not shure for 3.0.4).

I only get this problem while i'm on batteries. My laptop is a Clevo 
2700C (sometimes it explains everything :-)

Thanks,
Paulo Lopes
