Thanks for your reply Ian, but unfortunately, neither /dev/apm
nor /dev/apmctl appeared after adding the two lines:
hint.apm.0.disabled=3D"0"
hint.apm.0.flags=3D"0"

in /boot/loader.conf
It never appeared in dmesg as well :(.

I even added the following

>  apm_enable=3D"YES"
>  apmd_enable=3D"YES"
>  apmd_flags=3D"-v"
>=20
But no help :( Thanks for trying anyhow...
