Bugzilla Bug 3142
Should load the apm module automatically if appropriate
https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3142
this bug should mention the simple remedy:
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=5193&highlight=apm
Add 'apm' (no quotation marks) to the list of modules in /etc/modules
also why can't this be fixed in warty ?

kind regards     philippe
