However if the apm_emu module would be useful for other desktop environments I can submit a patch to add it to the default debian powerpc kernel config as suggested by Adrian? It appears the GNUstep battery monitor does support APM.
GNUstep Battery Monitor supports both ACPI, APM and PMU in that fallback order, IIRC. It's my code! It started as APM many years ago, but that is mostly obsolete. I also wrote the PMU support, maybe it should be preferred if found?
But as you write, probably there are few or no monitors left supporting APM. I hinted you to batmon to avoid it, if you wish.
