There are three ways (but there may be a simpler one):

* Look in the documentation included with the system.

* Look in the Hardware Maintenance Manual whether there is any
  mentioning of APM.  OK, I can do that myself.  Though, it 

* If you're using "grub" as boot manager (it's most likely the default
  of SuSE 10.1), then enable APM and disable ACPI, just during one
  start.  The relevant kernel parameters: "apm=on acpi=off".  Once
  booted into LINUX, execute "apm" which tells one whether APM is
  available or not.

Thanks for the report!

No idea, sorry.  It may not even be a problem, perhaps indeed just

That's a disadvantage, but I assume that there are technical reasons for
this switch.
