I have found most of the newer machines I've been using don't seem to power off with apm, but if I configure acpi in the kernel instead then it all works fine. I usually enable the 'bus manager', 'system', cpu' and 'power button' bits in the kernel - can't say what they are exactly since I'm just looking at the kernel config file for one of our servers, but you'll know them when you see them :-) John. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Horne, University of Plymouth, UK Tel: +44 (0)1752 233914 E-mail: jhorne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx PGP key available from public key servers -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
