Alexander--I do realize I was responding to a message from November of 
last year.  I did not think that would be an issue--I apologize.  I was 
also already aware of the 440GX problem which Alan Cox mentioned, but 
that was for Fedora Core 1.  Besides, the problem I am having is similar 
to what you were experiencing under Fedora Core 3.  So, have you worked 
around it or are you on different hardware and/or software now?  My 
system is an acpi system and not apm, so acpi is working correctly.  I 
think I'm going to have to take this issue to the devel list as I think 
it is a bit low-level.  Any details?

Thanks,
Peter
