I have: apm_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, and device apm0 #Kernel config entry Hardware is a Dell XPS120c - do I need anything enabled in BIOS? Is there a way to check hardware compatabilty (e.g. something other than google groups, which isn't turning up anything)? -- Rishi Chopra http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rchopra
