Yes, they do.

ACPI and APM are mutually exclusive. If one's running the other will refuse
to start.

The default kernel tries to load ACPI by default first thing unless either
of the 2 following conditions are met:

1) The laptop is on a "blacklist" of machines known to have a fscked up ACPI
subsystem.

2) You tell it explicitly *not* to do so. This is done by adding the
`hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"' hint.

binoculars to look down at things on the ground?
