Re: [Sheflug] ATX

Quickie about ATX stuff then,

Why do I need apmd to be running? By the time the system shuts down,
everything's been stopped, and I don't really care about the other power
management stuff. My monitor and HDD shut off after about 10 mins thanks
to the BIOS, and since I do power down, thats all I really need.

cheers

Life would be so much easier if we 
could just look at the source code.
