=A0 I have a Dell Inspiron 1526 laptop.=A0=A0 It has 2 AMD Turion 64 TL-62 processors.=A0 Is ACPI v3 support going to be enabled on a future freebsd7-= stable or 8-release ?=A0 =20 =A0 The reason I ask=A0 is that I can load openbsd 4.3 i386 on it; even though it only the UP version loads, when I set the processor in the lowest powernow run state (the apm driver refers to it as cool perf mode), the battery can last approx 3 hrs.=A0 The amd64 version of openbsd 4.3 with the=A0 MP version loads and behaves the same way. However pcbsd7 alpha (and freebsd v7 realease, as well as pcbsd1.5/freebsd = 6.3) only reports a max battery life of about one and a half hours.=A0 Is this an acp= i issue, or is it something else, such as a powernow driver issue.=A0 With Op= enBSD there is support for powernow K8, which I think K8 means athalon/turi= on 64bit processors. I can help test out changes to acpi, if needed, with reagrds to amd64 turio= n processors, as I have a Toshiba Satallite A215 model as well as the Dell = 1526. Regards, Edward A. Hirsel =0A=0A=0A
