Compaq Evo N600C, apm, battery <10%, hangs

[Paulius Bulotas]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup my Compaq Evo N600C with 5.1-RELEASE, and for now
everything what I need seems to be working except this annoyance:
when battery life according to apm and my laptop, reaches 9%,
battery light starts flashing and system hangs. It reacts only to
ctrl+alt+del but with no use ;) The screen gets coloured like in Zx
Spectrum ;)

dmesg says:
apm0: <APM BIOS> on motherboard
apm0: found APM BIOS v1.2, connected at v1.2

I'm not running apmd for now.

Any ideas? Maybe apm flags or something?

TIA
Paulius
