There is a new APM patch for 2.1.127 on my home page. It is
not much changed from the last one, BUT for all you SMP guys out
there, try it out! It should allow power down even for SMP
systems.

- sysctl support (notably the value passed when blanking
the display can be set - /proc/sys/apm/blank-device.
Some people need 0 some need 0xff). Check out the
other things in /proc/sys/apm and make suggestions.
- The astute will notice I am aiming for modularisation
again - hopefully this time I can make it work!
Cheers,
Stephen
