I posted a similar problem a few days ago. This is what helped: 1.) Edit the kernel-conf-file, you have to remove the "disabled" from the line which begins with "device apm0". Recompile the kernel. The handbook can help you with this if you haven't done this before. 2.) Edit your /etc/rc.conf - add two lines: apm_enable="YES" apmd_enable="YES" HTH To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
