When I first looked on google to figure out what I was missing, someone had posted that you needed both of those in /etc/rc.conf. However, I left out the apmd_enable without problem. One person also suggested enabling a bunch of other stuff in the kernel--ah, here it is (I'd bookmarked it at one point) You need to do the following... 1. Compile kernel with the following options device apm device intpm device smbus device smb 2. enable apm in /etc/rc.conf 3. enable apmd in /etc/rc.conf However, as I said, I only did apm and took the disabled out in my kernel and that worked for me--an ASUS MB and a couple of lowend Sis ones > > In your kernel, you'll see a line about apm0 and somewhere in the middle >of > > the line the word disabled.

I know linux on the same machine >turns off the box as it should and it has to do with config, somehow. Just the above additional options--I didn't find them necessary, and to be honest, didn't even research what they did. (When I had the problem, I saw the enable_apm and adding apm to the kernel first, figured I'd try the first, simpler one first. Just bookmarked the other in case the first didn't work.
