Also make sure you have APM emulation working (check XFree log to see
if it found & opened the APM device)

from my XF86Config file...

(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)

But my kernel config says...
CONFIG_PMAC_APM_EMU=y

The only thing unusual is I am running devfs..
so i checked /dev

heliosphan dev # find . -name *apm*
./misc/apm_bios
./apm_bios

/dev/misc/apm_bios has perms:

crw-------    1 mutex    root      10, 134 Dec 31  1969 apm_bios

are those normal permissions ?

I don't know, I don't use devfs, I have:

crw-rw----    1 root     root      10, 134 2003-04-29 13:04
/dev/apm_bios

Anyway, the X server doesn't try to use /dev/misc/apm_bios but
/dev/apm_bios and gets ENOENT.

Also, I'm running an enlightenment battery applet which afaik uses apm
layer to report battery level. So something has to be working.

It might use /proc/apm.
