I know. ;) revision 1.67 date: 1996/04/22 19:40:24; author: nate; state: Exp; lines: +7 -1 - add apm to the GENERIC kernel (disabled by default), and add some comments regarding apm to LINT .. > They are both have the "disabled" keyword so that the user can enable > them in userconfig. Also, apm on desktops makes more sense now than > it used to, as many of the mobos now support it fairly well... Except that it appears to break timekeeping on desktop machines. Again, without APM, PCCARD support may give the impression as being non-functional, since people will close the lids on the boxes and it won't work correctly. :( Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
