I have an i8k, and apm works fine, and I didn't do either of those things. What *did* do was to add device apm to the kernel config. Do *NOT* use the apm0 with all those goofy flags you might find in some older versions of LINT. And I also added this: apm_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf. | | Cheers, | Benjamin | | | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org | with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message -- Brian T.
