Now to deal with the fact that i get a black screen where I should be seeing twm, and the fact that after hitting C-M-BS I don't get my syscons back. :( Is there no winning? :) (Do I have to install twm too? (also the led on the monitor isn't doing anything weird that would indicate out-of-range so i have no clue of the bug) > > Also, is there a way to make 'sysctl hw.ofwfb.relax_mmap=1' happen on > > startup, or be the default state? > > See sysctl.conf(5). Okay, i'll check that when i boot up again, I had to force power down in a moment of lack of clarity of mind. > > (Further question, anyone had luck getting ACPI Suspend or display sleep > > to work with macs?) > > There is no suspend support on macs, and may never be. We could probably > at least add cpufreq support, though. DPMS (display sleep) should work fine. I don't know how display sleep works - any pointers at docs would be appreciated. I don't like the idea of my 17" trinitron sitting there acquiring burn-in of console text, even though it would be AWESOME. I don't need suspend support so much - I'm fine leaving boxes running for days, weeks, months at a time. :) Thanks very much.
