I have added the following line to my rc.conf:

	apm_enable="YES"
	apmd_enable="YES"

Restarted the kernel, then I tried:

	[ dk@daemon ~ ]% apm
	apm: can't open /dev/apm: Device not configured
	[ dk@daemon ~ ]% dmesg | egrep -i apm
	[ dk@daemon ~ ]%

What else do I need to do in order to enable APM?  Basically all I want
to do is have my screen go blank after x amount of time.
