My conclusion is that the Dell Inspiron 3700 C433GT is one on those machines which have a broken statclock. I don't why, but these are the facts. The "solution" for the APM suspend not working (which only happens when the RTC is generating IRQ8s) is the activation of the flag 0x20 for the apm driver (as stated in LINT). Apart from profiling, I don't know what other system features will be lost because of the missing statclok... -- JMA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- José Mª Alcaide | mailto:jose@we.lc.ehu.es Universidad del País Vasco | mailto:jmas@FreeBSD.org Dpto. de Electricidad y Electrónica | http://www.we.lc.ehu.es/~jose Facultad de Ciencias - Campus de Lejona | Tel.: +34-946012479 48940 Lejona (Vizcaya) - SPAIN | Fax: +34-946013071 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Beware of Programmers who carry screwdrivers" -- Leonard Brandwein To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
