Basically, I gave up on "normal" APM since in no FBSD release apm is able to find my system battery. Enabling ACPI, those things are fine. Running FreeBSD 5.1, anyhow, the system itself still completely crashes whenever I try starting X with ACPI enabled (sometimes just black screen and reboot, sometimes screen full of coloured ascii art and then reboot, sometimes immediate reboot). Reading several pieces of documentation and sites found using google still has left me pretty clueless... hints, anyone? TIA, have a nice day. Cheers, Kris -- these outrageous events break through the peaceful silence... into a fragile community enters madness, insanity.
