APM support on laptop

Hello

 

I am using Woody with kernel 2.4 (bf24) on an Acer Aspire 1600 laptop.

I am trying to use APM to suspend linux instead of having to shutdown every time i finish to use the laptop. When i try to use the apm command, a message tells me that the kernel has no APM support.

 

Do i have to make my own kernel or is there a way to "turn on" apm support? Perhaps as a loadable module?

 

Thanks

Rui
