Re: No APM update in 2.2.10 (patch doesn't seem to fix these problems)

I have a Compaq Presario 1610. Apm -v  says that the BIOS is Ver 1.2.

The problem that I've been having is that after hybernating (by pressing
Fn-F4) and then turning the laptop back on, each second for the system
clock lasts 6 seconds for the hardware clock. (ie the system clock is
running at about 1/6th the speed it should) 

I also have to make sure that I have the laptop go to sleep at least one
time after I boot before I make it hybernate.  Otherwise when I press
(Fn-F4) for hybernation the screen just blanks and the laptop is
completely unresponsive.

I tried your patch on kernel 2.2.10. (apm -v now says kernel driver 1.10)
I'm not sure what problems your patch fixed, but the above problems
continued with both apmd-3.0beta4 and apmd-3.0beta8. Was your patch
supposed to fix these problems?

Does anyone have any idea how to fix the above problems?
