Hi !

I have a simple question...
My kernel is compiled with apm support, my console screen goes black after 5
minutes of keyboard inactivity, which is great, and when I turn the computer
off, it power off with no problem.

So, what is the apmd package used for ?

Thanks in advance for your answers...
