    Hi all,

    I am trying to get Linux setup on my laptop. I have put RH 9 on it and have
    gotten everything working ~except~ power management.

    The APM message tells me that the BIOS has no APM features. I have ACPI
    working but can't find an application that uses it. :( Anything I find will
    not compile on my system or requires a newer version of ACPI.

    Any hope? I am not wedded to RH... I need good ACPI support (and wireless
    too but I'll fight that battle next). :)

    btw, it's a Pavilion XT155, 1 gig of memory, 1.8 ghz Celeron (P4 core)
