Re: Error about apm reported when switching from X to tty and back



Hi Zhaojun,

I met this error message a few days ago when I updated my kernel to
version 2.6.4 and replaced the APM with ACPI. Because I didn't have
enough time to learn how to make ACPI running as expected, I installed
the "sleepd" program on my Debian Sid. Then the "FATAL: error inserting
apm" came out.

Neraly the same here ... it cam with an Upgrade which also upgraded from
 2.6.whatever to 2.6.4-1-k7.

It seems that from 2.6.4. acpi is properly recognized ... until then
acpi was not working I had the apm module loaded.

But I dont have sleepd installed at all, so it cannot be the same cause.
What displaymanager are you using? I use gdm maybe somehting connected
to that?

After I grepped in the "/var/log/syslog" I found this error message was
generated by "sleepd", so I removed it from my Debian box and the error
message dispeared. :)

I have not foudn anything about the error in /var/log/syslog nor in any
other logfile under /var/log. The only thing I see is:

Apr 10 07:56:23 ds9 kernel: apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver
version 1.16ac)
Apr 10 07:56:23 ds9 kernel: apm: overridden by ACPI.

Hope my experenice is kinda helpful to you. :)

Sadly this was not the case but worth a try anyways. Thanks!

P.S. I just tried switching from gdm to xdm but the problem remeins - so there has to be an other reason. :-(
