Power management (APM / ACPI)

The board uses ACPI, while apm doesn't work at all.

-
apm always reports "AC on-line, no system battery", and apm -s or apm -S work only on the shell (and only if you don't have apmd running), but in all other cases the laptop awakes after a second.

o
As the standard kernel does not come with acpi compiled in, you probaly will need to recompile your own kernel - with acpi compiled in.

o
I was yet too lazy to recompile, so I can't say how well ACPI works.
