Subject: Enabling ACPI and APM at same time?

Hi!

Is it possible to have _both_ ACPI and APM enabled?

I really need APM on my notebook (so that machine suspends when it
runs out of batteries, not powers off), but having /proc/power/*
information would be *very* handy.

>From /usr/src/linux-2.4.X/Documentation/pm.txt:
"No sorry, you can not have both ACPI and APM enabled and running at
once. Some people with broken ACPI or broken APM implementations
would like to use both to get a full set of working features, but you
simply can not mix and match the two. Only one power management
interface can be in control of the machine at once. Think about it.."

Sorry :-(
