As suggested I added the following devices to my kernel config file device apm0 at nexus? flags 0x20 # Advanced Power Management device smbus device viapm device smb device iicbb device iicbus device iicsmb And dmesg indicates that everything is now being detected. Below are the pertinent entries from dmesg apm0: <APM BIOS> on motherboard apm: found APM BIOS v1.2, connected at v1.2 viapropm0: SMBus I/O base at 0x5000 viapropm0: <VIA VT82C686A Power Management Unit> port 0x5000-0x500f at device 7.4 on pci0 viapropm0: SMBus revision code 0x40 smb0: <SMBus general purpose I/O> on smbus0 I also added apm_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf The VT82c686A Power Management Unit is an ACPI Power Management Controler. I also have set my cmos to go into standby after 10 mins., shut the hdd after ten mins., screen blanking after 10 mins., etc..... But I don't think my system is ever going into any such modes. What I know is that after 5 mins. the screen saver comes on and I have left it alone for as much as an hour and the screen saver was still on, i.e. the screen never went to blank mode, and the power fan seemed to still be on at full speed. I think this means that power management is not working as it should. Am I supposed to have enabled it in some way beyond just setting it in the bios/cmos? Any way for me to check if all this power management stuff is working as it should? Thanks. Wayne __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!
