I noticed that after disabling gdm in /etc/rc.conf ^"gdm_enable=3D"N"^ = the system stays active. However ..... that is also the end the GUI .... in this case GNOME. Since I could not work which a machine hibernating every ^10 minutes^, I = have disabled gdm for the moment.=20 That does not take away that that is ...... ridiculous !! There should be a way to disable ACPI in FreeBSD so that even gdm can = not "kill" the machine !! I say ^kill^ because there is also another bug, the machine is not = properly restarting form hibernation,=20 Even not from S1.

I went into settings, but there = is no way to adjust this feature. Some web searching brought me to this = page: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/22 Apparently the 20-minute suspend was made unchangable (at least not = without changing the source code for Gnome and rebuilding it). Apparently this change was made to comply with EU power regulations. Anyway, this ruled out Gnome for me. Kirk McKusick
