Re: apm daemon, suspend/resume

Jont--

Yes, all of these newer releases of APMD will work with RedHat
versions 5.1 or 5.2, which are based on the 2.0.XX series of kernels.

*HOWEVER*, the stock RedHat kernels are not compiled with support for
APM.  I assume that you have recompiled your kernel after setting
CONFIG_APM.

I see that Stephen Rothwell has put out a new kernel APM driver which
adds some new features.  Those features will only be available in
newer kernels.

I agree that there is the potential confusion between APM
suspend/resume and PCMCIA suspend/resume.  I'll try to be more clear.
