There is a nice page for Dell laptops > at http://sandcat.nl/~stijn/freebsd/dell.php Interestingly when I tried it with 5.1-RELEASE (acpi not working well) and 5.2-BETA (acpi working well) it didn't make any difference. When I tried it again after the acpi import, it fixed my problems: o temperature information is good o batter information is good o I no longer get the UtAllocate errors Cheers. -- Mike Makonnen | GPG-KEY: http://www.identd.net/~mtm/mtm.asc mtm@identd.net | Fingerprint: 00E8 61BC 0D75 7FFB E4D3 6BF1 B239 D010 3215 D418 mtm@FreeBSD.Org| FreeBSD - Unleash the Daemon !
