With the following: performance_cx_lowest="C2" # Online CPU idle state economy_cx_lowest="C2" # Offline CPU idle state X would begin to start up, but it would stay with a black screen and never complete. Changing all 4 settings (cpu_freq and cx) to NONE allowed it to start up again. If I change it to C2 after I'm running my window manager the temp drops after 10 minutes or so and the fan speed goes down as well. > Or the separate /etc/rc.d/power_profile > ?

I haven't done anything special with the acpi stuff. The only thing that looks relevant from dmesg is: acpi_tz0: on acpi0 > Which nvidia driver?

I can do the former easily enough, I assume to enable them I set debug.acpi.disabled=0 in loader.conf?
