Subject: APM IOC REJECT ?

Hi!

What is keeping hte APM REJECT ioctl from getting into the kernel ?
The patch was first released eons ago.

With it, you can assign any function to the power button ( and to the
sleep button if anyone has one ), without it, the power button crashes
the system ( actually it first informs linux that a suspend is pending,
and then it cuts the power. useless At least that's my experience with
it).

apmd also supports this feature since long.

david

It was an update on the linux-APM home page.
I have no idea where the linux-APM homepage is located :-(
