I see the exact same "unrecognized option" error. I also see the same solution, and I use this solution. Therefore I suggest the solution should be to comment out the "--proxy-option 30" and perhaps make a note in a comment next to this commented option, why the option is there in the first place / what the plan is or was. For every day apmd stays the same, people can install 'apmd' and experience non-working APM on Gentoo. Thanks in advance. henrik@brixandersen.dk 2005-01-04 03:53:23 0000 Fixed InCVS. Thank you for reporting this.
