Re: tosh libretto apm / battery / disk woes

[Minty <mintywalker@gmail.com>]

for the record, acpi=off at boot time will disable acpi, but the apm
stuff isn't enabled in the debain kernel v2.6.8

re-compiled the kernel with the following settings

# ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support
#
# CONFIG_ACPI is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y

#
# APM (Advanced Power Management) BIOS Support
#
CONFIG_APM=m
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y
CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y
CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y
CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS=y
CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF=y

note that CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is on by default, but based
on googling it should not be enabled for the libretto 1x0CT's.

Still cannot get the suspend to disk to work, but at least I can
unplug it from the mains cable now :)
