NAME
apm - interface with the APM subsystemSYNOPSIS
apm [ -VvmMsSdin ]DESCRIPTION
This command requires the Advanced Power Management subsystem. If run without arguments it reads /proc/apm and presents the output in a human-readable format. Given a -S or -s option it requests that the machine be put into the APM standby or the APM suspend state, respectively. For a brief description of these states, see apmd(8).OPTIONS
- -V, --version
- Print the version of the program and exit.
- -v, --verbose
- Also print version information for the APM subsystem. The APM subsystem consists of power-management hardware, firmware usually referred to as the APM BIOS and a driver in the operating system kernel.
- -m, --minutes
- Print the time remaining as a number of minutes. The default is to print the time remaining in "hours:minutes" format.
- -M, --monitor
- Continuously monitor and update the status information. Assumes that the standard output is a terminal.
- -S, --standby
- Request that the machine be put into the APM standby state.
- -s, --suspend
- Request that the machine be put into the APM suspend state.
- -d, --debug
- Print APM status information in a format more useful for debugging. Implies -v.

NAME
apm - Alliance ProMotion video driverSYNOPSIS
Section "Device" Identifier "devname" Driver "apm" ... EndSection
DESCRIPTION
apm is an XFree86 driver for Alliance ProMotion video cards. The driver is accelerated for supported hardware/depth combination. It supports framebuffer depths of 8, 15, 16, 24 and 32 bits. For 6420, 6422, AT24, AT3D and AT25, all depths are fully accelerated except 24 bpp for which only screen to screen copy and rectangle filling is accelerated.SUPPORTED HARDWARE
The apm driver supports PCI and ISA video cards on the following Alliance ProMotion chipsets- ProMotion 6420
- ProMotion 6422
- AT24
- AT3D
- AT25
CONFIGURATION DETAILS
Please refer to XF86Config(5x) for general configuration details. This section only covers configuration details specific to this driver.The driver auto-detects the chipset type, but the following ChipSet names may optionally be specified in the config file "Device" section, and will override the auto-detection:
-
"6422", "at24", "at3d".
The AT25 is Chipset "at3d" and the 6420 is 6422.
The driver will auto-detect the amount of video memory present for all chips. The actual amount of video memory can also be specified with a VideoRam entry in the config file "Device" section.
The following driver Options are supported:
- Option "HWCursor" "boolean"
- Enable or disable the hardware cursor. Default: on.
- Option "NoAccel" "boolean"
- Disable or enable acceleration. Default: acceleration is enabled.
- Option "NoLinear" "boolean"
- Disable or enable use of linear frame buffer. Default: on. Note: it may or may not work. Tell me if you need it.
- Option "PciRetry" "boolean"
- Enable or disable PCI retries. Default: off.
- Option "Remap_DPMS_On" "string"
- Option "Remap_DPMS_Standby" "string"
- Option "Remap_DPMS_Suspend" "string"
- Option "Remap_DPMS_Off" "string"
-
Remaps the corresponding DPMS events. I've found that my
Hercules 128/3D swaps Off and Suspend events. You can correct
that with
- Option "Remap_DPMS_Suspend" "Off" Option "Remap_DPMS_Off" "Suspend"
- Option "SWCursor" "boolean"
- Force the software cursor. Default: off.
- Option "ShadowFB" "boolean"
- Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer. Default: off.
