It seems to work as advertised. I'm running mach64 DRM=20 with the DPMS patch acpi_video and they both work. :) One small problem though. When I unload the acpi_video module and=20 reload it I get the following: littleguy# kldload acpi_video acpi_video0: <ACPI video extension> on vgapci0 acpi_video1: <ACPI video extension> on vgapci0 littleguy# kldunload acpi_video acpi_video0: detached acpi_video1: detached littleguy# kldunload acpi_video kldunload: can't find file acpi_video: No such file or directory littleguy# kldload acpi_video acpi_video0: <ACPI video extension> on vgapci0 acpi_video1: <ACPI video extension> on vgapci0 acpi_video2: <ACPI video extension> on vgapci0 littleguy# It also created multiple sysctls with subsequent loads: hw.acpi.video.crt0.active: 1 hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active: 1 hw.acpi.video.tv0.active: 0 hw.acpi.video.crt1.active: 1 hw.acpi.video.lcd1.active: 1 hw.acpi.video.tv1.active: 0 hw.acpi.video.crt2.active: 1 hw.acpi.video.lcd2.active: 1 hw.acpi.video.tv2.active: 0 =2D-=20 Anish Mistry --nextPart1399242.3eh9Zmd3ga Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDoQAZxqA5ziudZT0RAt/jAJ0fT9i3K6lMIgrmssjEL0bJ5QA+rQCeJHBA iBAu+5N4SHhzpIlT6Uh5BME= =GfZl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1399242.3eh9Zmd3ga--
