Hi,
there are a lot of different errors in various document regarding acpi
that are wrong.
In 'man acpi' it says that 'hint.acpi.0.disabled' should be placed in
loader.conf.
-------------
LOADER TUNABLES
Tunables can be set at the loader(8) prompt before booting the kernel
or
stored in /boot/loader.conf. Many of these tunables also have a
matching
sysctl(8) entry for access after boot.
...
hint.acpi.0.disabled
Set this to 1 to disable all of ACPI. If ACPI has been
disabled
on your system due to a blacklist entry for your BIOS, you
can
set this to 0 to re-enable ACPI for testing.
...
-------------
In 'man loader' it says:
-------------
acpi_load
Unset this to disable automatic loading of the ACPI module.
See also hint.acpi.0.disabled in device.hints(5).
-------------
In 'man device.hints'
-------------
The following example disables the ACPI driver:
hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"
-------------
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/laptop/article.html page also
states that it should be in device.hints.
Well, these are the ones I have found. There are a lot of misconfusion in
various forums what to put where and how its done. Maybe its accurate on
both places, but then that should be noted somewhere.
