[ale] kapm-idle Mandrake 8

[Jim Popovitch]

Cade,

Are you using a custom kernel?  If so there is a setting in the General
-> APM config to enable/disable idle processor ops.  Basically some
BIOS don't do APM very well w/o some sort of idle-time processing.  It
may be that default kernels have this enabled.
