apm notebook

[luis <luis@aztlan.fb10.tu-berlin.de>]

hello

i am using a travelmate 5300 (texas instruments) notebook

when in text mode try to enter the display saver, the display blicks
for a moment, and then, instead of clearing the display and blank it,
jost drop the next line

     apm: set display ready: Interface not engaged

and this behaviour repeats each time the apm tries to take control of
the display to clear it

in X11 i have not this problem, when the sreen saver enters, it clears 
cleanly and blanks the display

is there any kernel patch to overcome this problem ? or more generally:
how could i fix this problem ?

thanks a lot
