This laptop is a Quantex from circa 1998, I loaded the ACPI module from
Debian's 2.4.20 kernel in proposed-updates and it just froze the
system.  I'm fairly sure it has no ACPI support.

I don't even have power management built into my kernel and it's snooze
city.  When I have a chance I am going to build a kernel with ACPI and
APM as modules and not load them, as that is what is happening when the 
2.4.18-bf2.4 does what I want.  I'm not sure why that sounds like
something to try, but for some reason it does.

Thanks for tho reply,
