What he was trying to say is that if you have a motherboard that was
made before ~1999/2000 then acpi won't work.  That's why nearly every
distro that claims to have power management starts up both.  

If you install Uu onto a computer with a motherboard in early 1998 for
instance, ACPI won't work because the standards acpi relies on didn't
exist then, but apm did.  If your computer is new enough to fully
support acpi, try turning off apm, reset and see if things work for you.
If they do that's great.  If they don't you can always re-enable apm.
This is an experiement that won't hurt anything.
