I don't know if this goes to a mailing list, but I'm having some problems with APM on a notebook. I'll just describe the problem and if anyone has an idea of what to do i'd appreciate an answer. I installed freebsd on an acer (formerly known as Texas Instrument) extensa 391C (P133, 16M, 1.6G, etc) and somehow got the power management working...then it just stopped. well actually it wasn't like that.. I was trying to make the internal modem and sound card work, and thus i was rebuilding the kernel... since the apm was not working (whenever i tried to use apm zzz or apmconf it said /dev/apm not configured) i tried to fix that as well. I removed the option APM_BROKEN_STATCLOCK from the config file thinking that maybe that would fix it. well, it somehow did... suddenly i was able to put my notebook in hybernation mode by issuing a zzz command. sadly neither the modem nor the soundcard worked. so once again i went and rebuilt the kernel changing some drivers and some other stuff. i never changed anything having to do with apm. the situation now is very strange... the first time i do a zzz it puts the notebook on standby (not hybernation which is what i want) and whenever i try it again it justs turns goes to standby and comes back immediatly (saying kernel slept 00:00:00). I've tried going back to the old kernel, but it didn't do the trick. i've tried almost anything i know and nothing works... the thing is I HAD IT WORKING ONCE so it's gotta work again somehow. if anybody has any idea as to what could be the problem... please give me a hand. b.t.w if anybody happens to know how to make the modem and sound card work i would appreciate it too. thanks in advance, -oscar To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
