How do I tell whether my laptop supports acpi or apm? |

I'm sorry to keep throwing this up right now, but lack of experience begs |
| 4 |
more questions. I've found a lot of information about this box (dell |
| 5 |
inspiron 8600) from googling, forums, etc., but they seem to be split on |
| 6 |
whether this box uses acpi or apm. I have looked at numerous articles |
| 7 |
saying that they upgraded the bios regarding this, but when I read the |
| 8 |
changelogs on every version of bios since this one (A04) [the latest is |
| 9 |
A13], they all say that they added fixes for bugs in suspend and added |
| 10 |
support for new cards. None of them say "And we went from APM to APCI" , or |
| 11 |
anything like it. It appeared as though apm was supported in this box, |
| 12 |
since my first go at the battery applet showed that the battery had 100% |
| 13 |
power, and, after installing apcid, the battery constantly shows 0. |

Any input is appreciated. it's a small thing, really, but now that I've |
| 16 |
started looking into it, I can't let go until I find a solution. |
