Re: [gentoo-user] New To Gentoo and Emerge, No ACPI in Kernel

["Lord Sauron" <lordsauronthegreat@gmail.com>]

Hah!  Think I found my problem!  Correct me if I'm wrong!

I just was reading some documentation using KDE Help Centre and found
this thing called APMD.  I tried typing "apmd" into Konsole, and it
said "No APM support in kernel."  Does this mean this is going to be
as easy as "emerge apmd"?
