If HPET is used as it should be according to = priorities I see (sysctl kern.eventtimer.timer returns HPET), then = legacy_route mode probably works as expected. In `systat -vm 1` you = should see about 50-70 timer interrupts per CPU. Yes, it returns HPET. And the sysstat reports more or less those numbers = of interrupts. So this has been sorted out. Now my machine is running = PC-BSD and looks stable (more tests needed). About the power consumption issue, I've just rebooted into Linux and = tested with the "vesa" xorg driver. Same power consumption as = Free/PCBSD. So definitely a GPU powersave issue. I just hope that xorg = will support my video card soon. Do you think that your patch will be a part of 9.1 final release?=20 Meanwhile, thank you very very much for your help.=20 Stefano=
