I've always had mixed results with ACPI with Dapper - IIRC, ACPI worked better in Breezy. You are right, the Ubuntu default for this machine is APM (because of the age of the BIOS). However, under Windows, the A20m uses ACPI and it works like a charm.

So the A20m doesn't "use APM by default": during boot, HW detection simply indicates that this machine fails a cutoff - because of the age of the BIOS, Linux chooses APM. I've never been happy with that "logic".

If this is another bug, then, yes, let's revert status to fixed release. Is there a consensus on this?
