Hello there,
I am trying to get my Power Management working but I am not able to enable it from menuconfig:
Code:

  x x                    --- Power Management support                                                              x x 
  x x                    [*]   Legacy Power Management API (NEW)                                                   x x 
  x x                    [ ]   Power Management Debug Support                                                      x x 
  x x                    [*] Software Suspend                                                                      x x 
  x x                    ()    Default resume partition                                                            x x 
  x x                        ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support  --->                       x x 
  x x                        CPU Frequency scaling  --->   



I want to enable Power Management support to *(Y). but it has " --- " in it and is unable to change it. I think I am missing something that I should tick.

also, I tried with fresh vanilla-sources, gentoo-sources, ck-sources, but all had same --- Power Management support and was unable to enable it.


anyideas?

The "---" means that it's already enabled because another item requires it (probably ACPI in your case). So you don't need to change it, it's already in the state you want.
