I has MAKEDEVed but have got the same results
I rebuild kernel, check /etc/default/conf, but nothing.

kernel config and in man pages say that APM is for LAPTOP computers
but mine is not , I have simple desktop P133, and that's all.

I wonder does this thing work at all?

I probably know what the problem is here, but you do need to get into
the habit of quoting error messages verbatim, for example:

        apm: can't open /dev/apm: Device not configured

:-)

In your case, you probably just need to do this:

        cd /dev
        ./MAKEDEV apm0

Ciao,
Sheldon.
