I have sent the previous email in the hope that I could find more about "how" it is not supported:).

My computer came with 11, but I hoped that the last release (18, that page is outdated) will support better the ACPI. It is just that I am tracking the current on this old machine, and of course I would like to try all the goodies :). Maybe do some testing one day:) Thanks again, /Dorin. > -- > Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power > to Serve > dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
