How about being more careful with your submissions and actually test things before submitting them? Either testing this setting or reading the code would have shown you it was correct. (don't forget code is always more accurate than documenation) ACPI != apm or pcic or sio. The hints in GENERIC.hints are tested. The commit in the manpage about the spelling always being 'disabled' is wrong. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
