Apm and Acpi on a laptop

Hi, i`m a newbe on linux and I have a Dell Inspiron 5000e laptop on which i tried installing Gentoo a couple of times. It all works well but I have problems shutting down and rebooting even with ctrl-alt-canc, I have to turn it off manually. This for example doesn`t happen in Fedora fc2. I`ve included both acpi and apm before compiling the kernel but maybe i`m doing something wrong. Is there a way to know what modules are included in the Fedora kernel after it`s installed, so that i can copy that configuration in gentoo?
I`d like also to have a shutdown reboot option on the gnome menu, just like windows whitout having to log out every time.
Thanks much

"lsmod" after booting should show all the loaded modules.

I`ve tried the lsmod but it lists ony the modules loaded. Is there a way to see all the kernel configuration in my fedora install so that i can copy that when i do my ¨make menuconfig¨ in gentoo?

I'm pretty sure there's a .config file if you unpack the SRPM. You should be able to copy that to your gentoo kernel directory and then do "make oldconfig" "make menuconfig" to make sure it has whatever you want.
