Nforce & APM

I was wondering if anyone knew if APM was supported with Nforce boards? I have it compiled in the kernel, but when I type APM, it says no kernel support! I also tried ACPI, but that causes issues when under X, and I don't think it worked with that compiled either. Under Winblows XP I could hit the sleep button on the keyboard and the machine would suspend.

Under SUSE and Mandrake, APM would cause machine to lock up when the module was loaded.

This guy a red hat user had the same issue. Apparently Redhat issued an Errata kernel fix. I tried downloading it, but I can't get it to work. The kernel it installs is too big according to lilo. And their source is weird, it just installed a huge directory of patches that I don't know what to do with.

Help!

hmm I use ACPI and have APM off.

I only use it to turn off at shutdown. I never put my machine to "sleep".

When I tried ACPI, I get errors trying to start X.
I have APM module loaded, but I'm unable to shutdown now -h. The system just says 'powerdown' and I have to hit the button myself. I've not even thougth about trying any other power management yet.
