Hi. I'm having some difficulty getting APM and power control working in FreeBSD 3.3 I've built a kernel with APM enabled in the config file and enabled it in rc.conf, however apmd says it's starting up, but ps never shows it running. From /etc/rc.conf: apm_enable="YES" bash-2.03# apm -s apm: can't open /dev/apm: Device not configured bash-2.03# ls -al apm* crw-rw---- 1 root operator 39, 0 Jan 21 15:24 apm crw-rw---- 1 root operator 39, 8 Jan 21 15:24 apmctl I did a MAKEDEV in /dev, just in case, but the major/minor numbers came out the same. What I'd like to do is have shutdown -p work properly and I'd also like to intercept the power switch so I can shutdown gracefully. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks. -Ralph rpseguin@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
