Then I checked in my BIOS setup and there's no mention anywhere of apm though acpi defaults to S1 (I think that's "shutdown" as opposed to "sleep" or "suspend").Yet I find in my log:Aug 8 19:22:35 localhost kernel: apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.16ac)Aug 8 19:22:35 localhost kernel: apm: overridden by ACPI.Aug 8 19:23:50 localhost kernel: apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.16ac)Aug 8 19:23:50 localhost kernel: apm: overridden by ACPI. and apm.ko is at /lib/modules/2.6.8-3-k7/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.ko . Should it not have been removed with the other apm-related bits?apm.ko is the kernel module which contains the APM routines. As such it is part of the kernel-image-2.6.8-3-k7 package. Removing the apm daemon and apm-related library/tools packages does not (and should not) result in the removal of kernel modules.
Ah. I should have realised. I feel silly... :)I was surprised it appeared in the logs, though. It does not appear in lsmod.
The only thing in Control Centre under Power Control is Laptop Battery. It reports:Your computer seems to have a partial ACPI installation. ACPI was probably enabled, but some of the sub-options were not - you need to enable at least 'AC Adaptor' and 'Control Method Battery' and then rebuild your kernel.Should there be more under Power Control? If so, how do I get it there?Try to modprobe "ac", "power" and "battery" and check if that makes any difference.
