The machine will simply spin down the hard drive and shut off the screen for about 1/4 of a second, then spin the hard drive back up, and turn the screen back on. If I keep the lid closed, it just repeats this over and over. I think I've asked about this question before and didn't get much of a response. Here is the APM section of my DMESG: apm0: on motherboard apm: found APM BIOS v1.2, connected at v1.2 Oh, I must also mention that the APM doesn't even detect until I change a line in the kernel. I have to change the default APM device line to this: device apm If you run into the same problem, any help would be appreciated :) Pat Spikeman wrote: > > Any known problems with FreeBSD on laptops ( mainly looking to it on a > compaq armada 1750 ) while in hybernation mode .
