Control apm

Hi,

Need help. APM really confused me. 

- Where should I control APM? In BIOS Setup (PM) or in OS. If in Linux,
  how can I set the APM parameters such as idle time for standby, 
  suspending and HD power-off. Also I need some introduction on how wake-up
  events work with Linux.
- How can I disable APM so that I can burn CDR safely. After burning CDR,
  I want to enable APM back again without restarting Linux and changing 
  BIOS setup.
- Why on the console, I get a lot of message:
     apm: busy: Unable to enter reqested state
  I use x-terminal through serial port but seldom the console.  

Thanks in advance.
