In attempting to get sound working on a Dell 7500 Inspiron (cira 1994) I tried many combinations of ACPI and APM thinking that my sound problems stemmed from interrupt or irq/pnp problems. That turned out not to be the case. Now everything is working, but I am using a combination of the two as documented below.
Did I just 'luck out' or does apmd (sorta) by design work with the environment it finds?
------------------------- /boot/loader.conf snd_maestro_load="YES"
/etc/rc.conf apm_enable="YES" apmd_enable="YES"
kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 9 0xc0400000 5cdad0 kernel 2 1 0xc09ce000 7200 snd_maestro.ko 3 2 0xc09d6000 1d4fc sound.ko 4 14 0xc09f4000 537f0 acpi.ko 5 1 0xc1690000 17000 linux.ko
So apm.ko is not loaded. However everything works. I got to this configuration by accident (i.e., I forgot rc.conf). 'apm -l' works, 'apm -z' works and I can resume okay.
FWIW...
I have experienced the same thing on my Dell Inspiron 5100. I'm not currently running it that way, but was. Until I read that ACPI and APM will not run together. Supposedly the last one up notices the first and bails. So I opted for ACPI... which has left me wishing I was back with both even though they are not supposed to work together.
I'm interested too, in other's opinions/explanations of this phenomenon.
