862 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
863 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
864 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
865 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
866 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
867 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
868
869 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
870 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
871 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
872 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
873
874 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
875 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
876 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
877
878 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
879 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
880 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
881 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
882 APM in your BIOS).
