ISTR what is left of apm is a compatibility shim on top of ACPI.

This leaves machines like my Thinkpad T23 out in the cold, because the 
original apm subsystem has been ripped out (partly), and their ACPI 
support is not new enough to be supported. Result is no power 
management at all, which is annoying for a notebook.

Cheerio,
Hauke
