Last time I tried with -CURRENT, ACPI didn't work at all and confused timers and things, so that the keyboard repeat came in jerks, sleep(1) took about 5 seconds, and some network things slowed to a crawl. As a result I had to disable ACPI to do anything at all with the machine. Under 6.1-RELEASE, ACPI works, and I can suspend, but not resume again. This is the state I told you about at BSDCan. I haven't experimented with this much since then. This is a work machine, and normally I run Linux on it. I don't know how well ACPI works under Linux, since I don't turn it off.
