APM and ACPI won't work together. It's one or the other. You need to have apm loaded (either by building it into the kernel or by loading it from /boot/loader.conf) and ACPI disabled by either /boot/loader.conf or /boot/device.hints for apmd to be usable. The line would be something like: hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" This is really not an ACPI question, so I have set followups to current@. -- R.
