melon2003 Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 after installing new 2.6 (stable) kernel (from cooker) on toshiba satellite (1400-503) I've noticed that apm is not working anymore :( with 2.4 kernel (lastest from urpmi) I had no problems using apm power manager - after setting in bios everything worked fine - computer was switching to sleep mode after closing lid, also display was set to switch off after few minutes to save batteries. acpi was always just 'not working' - just showing proper parameters of hardware, temperatures and so on. after installing new kernel when going to sleep mode (it's not suspend to disk just _sleep_ mode) screen becomes full of garbages (lines and dots) and whole computer freezes (which is not often with linux;) anyway, does anyone of you use acpi or apm on 2.6 kernel?

paleo Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 I'm using kernel 2.6.2 with mdk9.1 on a Toshiba Satelite 1805 (I think it has similar specs to yours) and apm is working so I would think it'll work on yours as well. Make sure that in /etc/lilo.conf the kernel options apm=on and acpi=off are set for the 2.6 kernel. Also you might want to recompile the kernel to make sure all the right options are selected.
