My Ashton Digital Passport 2100 laptop does not support APM. Not only that,but when Debian attempts to do ANYTHING with APM, it hard locks. Whetherloading kernel support or installing the APM package, it'll just freezecompletely.

I've seen that APM is getting installed after I run through Tasksel... Iassume it's in the "laptop" package set or something. Is there some way totell Debian, GLOBALLY, not to install APM, but to use ACPI instead?
