+ APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
+ techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
+ APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
+ reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
+ battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
+ notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
+
+ In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
+ and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
+ Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
+ <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
+
+ This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
+ manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
+ VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
+
+ Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
+ much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
+ random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
+ anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
+ APM in your BIOS).
