Subject: kernel with APM

I would like to try out the Advanced Power Management features in
my PC. However I haven't been able to enable APM in the kernel.
When I do make xconfig I do nt see any obvious switch referring
to APM.

What am I missing? Could anybody who's ben using APM tell me if
they're happy with it?

Thanks,

Giuseppe

APM is in the "Character Devices" menu, after mice and tape and before
watchdog.

Quite, especially with the apmd package. The suspend and sleep features are
very nice.
