I have apm and apmd set to "YES" in rc.conf. The GENERIC kernel contains APM support, but it's disabled. You should find something like this in your kernel config file: # Power management support (see LINT for more options) device apm0 at nexus? disable flags 0x20 # Advanced Power Management You don't need to build a kernel to enable it: you can do that in the kernel configuration menu at bootup. You should remove the keyword 'disable', though, so next time you build a kernel you'll have it automatically. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
