+ "Jeff" <jeffr@san.rr.com>: | I have a Gateway Solo 9300. Having finally gotten X to work on the | machine (ATI Mobility), I would like to get APM working on it now. I | have searched the FreeBSD site, including the Handbook and FAQs, and | I cannot find any documentation on actually getting APM to work. Can | anyone point me to some documentation? If you're lucky (I was, with my Dell Inspiron 3500) all you need is to configure and build your kernel using device apm0 at isa? (possibly you must cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV apm as well) and run apmconfig -e at boot; then use the apm command to do interesting things. Twiddle the permissions on /dev/apm* if you resent having to be root to do so. On my machine, even the keyboard shortcuts just plain work. Docs? Try man -k apm. /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT also has some words about APM.
