I thought I would reiterate what I have done and see if anyone may have any suggestions now. The problem is in the power management system in FreeBSD 6.0. I have previously run 5.4 on this same system and never had this problem. I even compiled the same kernel on this system that I previously compiled in 5.4 and that does not solve the problem. My problem is that X will be unexpectedly shut down, presumably due to power issues. No messages that I can find end up in /var/log/messages explaining what happened. This usually happens when the battery reads less than 10 minutes remaining, and will happen without a chance to plug in the AC adapter. My previous kernel ran ACPI, I recently changed to acpi_ibm and the problem is the same. I am running KDE as my X environment, and have the power settings in there disabled except for battery monitor. What should I look at next for this? thank you Lee Parsons
