[ale] ACPI APM, Power Management Mandrake 9.1

[Dow Hurst]

Normally apm and acpi are exclusive so one or the other but not both.  Your 
kernel probably is too old for a new motherboard with new acpi.

Anyway, I use my default Mandrake 9.1 install, on my other machines, I never have to worry about the monitor or CPU shutting down.  This machine which is an AMD1.7,generic Socket-A board(PCBOARDS? bought in Norcross actually), very new board, the monitor or harddrive will not suspend.  I am not at the machine, but I remember it had an 'Energy Ally' logo that displayed on boot, in the BIOS, I had apm and acpi enabled, and I think an 45min and an hour.
