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.
