That you need apm0 and apm_enable is clear from the FreeBSD docs (e.g. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/laptop/article.html). That you also need apmd_enable doesn't seem to be mentioned there, but is clear to anyone who reads /etc/defaults/rc.conf (as everyone should at least once). The "device dc0" makes no sense at all. This is not a valid device in -stable (LINT does not list it). Device dc (without the 0) is a PCI NIC, which you may need to access the internet, but not to use APM. -David -- Everyone who believes in telekinesis, raise my hand...
