There is a new APM patch against 2.2.10 available for testing at
http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/2.2.10-APM.2.gz

Highlights:

- Reset time across standby.
- Allow more inititialisation on SMP.
- Remove CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF and make it boot time
configurable (default on).
- Make debug only a boot time parameter (remove APM_DEBUG).
- Try to blank all devices on any error.
- Add ability for user-level programs to both confirm *and*
reject standby and suspend operations.
(from Craig Markwardt <craigm@lheamail.gsfc.nasa.gov>)
- Don't send BUSY notifications to the BIOS when
state change not initiated by BIOS (bug reported
by Ernst Kloppenburg <kloppen@isr.uni-stuttgart.de>).

Please look at it (peer review is good) and test it.

Please send positive and negative results/comments to me.

Cheers,
Stephen
