[ltp] Does APM still work on 2.6?

[Antiphon]

You can certainly disable ACPI with SuSE 9.1. Just don't install that  
package when you're setting it up. I use APM on a 600X machine with great  
results. No futzing with modules on load up, either. And all of a sudden  
my PCMCIA slots started working with flash memory cards, too.
