APM or ACPI?
APM还是ACPI?
------------
If you have a relatively recent x86 mobile, desktop, or server system,
odds are it supports either Advanced Power Management (APM) or
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI).  ACPI is the newer
of the two technologies and puts power management in the hands of the
operating system, allowing for more intelligent power management than
is possible with BIOS controlled APM.

你要是有一个比较新的x86的移动，桌面或者服务器系统，你的优势就是
它支持高级电源管理（APM）或者高级配置与电源接口(ACPI)。ACPI是两种
技术中比较新的，它的电源管理在操作系统里面，和通过BIOS控制APM相
比，支持更多智能电源管理。

The best way to determine which, if either, your system supports is to
build a kernel with both ACPI and APM enabled (as of 2.3.x ACPI is
enabled by default).  If a working ACPI implementation is found, the
ACPI driver will override and disable APM, otherwise the APM driver
will be used.

最好的方法来确定，如果不是，你的系统知识是构建一个有ACPI和APM的
内核来启用(of 2.3.x ACPI是默认启用）。如果发现一个实现的工作ACPI，
ACPI驱动程序会覆盖和禁用APM，不然APM驱动程序会被使用的

No, sorry, you cannot have both ACPI and APM enabled and running at
once.  Some people with broken ACPI or broken APM implementations
would like to use both to get a full set of working features, but you
simply cannot mix and match the two.  Only one power management
interface can be in control of the machine at once.  Think about it..

很抱歉，你不能同时启用和运行ACPI和APM。有些不能实现ACPI或者APM的
人想同时使用，用来得到一套完整的工作特性，但是你不能混合和匹配
两者。只有一个电源管理接口可以同时控制这台机器。你仔细思考一下。

User-space Daemons
用户空间守护进程
------------------
Both APM and ACPI rely on user-space daemons, apmd and acpid
respectively, to be completely functional.  Obtain both of these
daemons from your Linux distribution or from the Internet (see below)
and be sure that they are started sometime in the system boot process.
Go ahead and start both.  If ACPI or APM is not available on your
system the associated daemon will exit gracefully.

APM和ACPI都依靠用户空间守护进程，apmd和acpid分别是完全功能。从你
的Linux发行版或网上获得这两种守护进程（见下文），确保它们开始于系
统引导进程的某个时候。继续并启动这两个。假如你的ACPI或者APM在你的
系统上不可利用，相关的守护进程将退出。
