The current kernel ( 2.4.2-ac26 or 2.4.3-pre8 ) has arch/i386/kernel/apm.c version 1.14 while version 1.15 is available as a patch to 2.3.99-pre7-1 ( read : it was available for ages ) at http://linuxcare.com.au/apm/
The newer version has among other things support for the APM_IOC_REJECT ioctl which is useful for example when implementing "run /sbin/shutdown -h when the power button is pressed".
While isn't this merged into the official kernel ?
Is apm.c v1.15 the latest ? The last modification of the http://linuxcare.com.au/apm/ page was in may 2000 and in 2.4.2-ac25 the web address for the APM driver was changed to http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ , but that page doesn't have much/any content about the APM driver.
On a related note : Both Abit BH6 and MSI K7T Pro2A send a SYSTEM_SUSPEND APM event ( APM_SYS_SUSPEND ) when I press the power button. When the OS acknowledges the event, the system doesn't go to suspend , as the OS expects , but to power-off , killing all running processes and causing an unclean umount , among other things.
Is this the APM standard behavior or do I have two weird motherboards ?
P.S.: Looking for an archive of the linux-laptop@vger.kernel.org mail list.
