Hi Guys (F/M), I have a Sony VAIO (PCG-Z505HS) running FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE. Have apm0 defined in the kernel and both apm_enable and apmd_enable set to YES in the rc.conf file. The system shuts-down perfectly using shutdown -p now, and also the zzz command will suspend the machine. However when I try to resume the system by pressing "any" key it will start the fan, disk and screen again, but everything else seems dead (including the keyboard). So the only way to "continue" working is to do a hard shutdown and reboot (and the necessary fscks)... Also the Yamaha soundcard is not recognised/supported (a shame since I would really like to have some means of playing music on this system). Does the 5.0-CURRENT driver actually work? And if so will it be backported any time soon? Since OSS seems to be reluctant to support FreeBSD 4.x, this seems to be my only hope... Last but not least a question on VMWare. I do have a windows 98 partition on this system as well and would really want to use this partition to boot windows inside a vmware window, but the raw drive is not supported. Has anyone here a similar configuration working, and if zo can you send me a small description on what I should do/configure to make this work on my system as well? aTdHvAaNnKcSe, Unicorn. -- ======= _ __,;;;/ TimeWaster ================================================ ,;( )_, )~\| A Truly Wise Man Never Plays PGP: 64 07 5D 4C 3F 81 22 73 ;; // `--; Leapfrog With A Unicorn... 52 9D 87 08 51 AA 35 F0 ==='= ;\ = | ==== Youth is Not a Time in Life, It is a State of Mind! ======= Echelon Teasers: NSA CIA FBI Mossad BVD MI5 Cocaine Cuba Revolution Espionage To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
