Well I've now read:

ACPI-HOWTO 
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/ACPI-HOWTO/index.html

Battery-Powered-HOWTO
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Battery-Powered/index.html

Laptop-HOWTO
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Laptop-HOWTO.html

I think I now understand the difference between ACPI and APM. However,
the above documents are a little out of date and don't really cover
what's in the latest kernels with regard to ACPI.

Does anyone know the answer to this? My clean install of FC2 enabled
both of these services -- I didn't:

# chkconfig --list acpid
acpid           0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

# chkconfig --list apmd
apmd            0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

Best, Darren
