yes I have, because I have dual-boot (as you know) with GNU/Linux and in the last OS the fans are behaving "properly"... but I have good news... I have started my working day right now and just booted the laptop enabling ACPI in the kernel (bsd -c, enable acpi, quit) and I have the apmd_flags="-C" line in /etc/rc.conf.local It's "arschkalt" outside (as Germans say), so that the laptop was cold and now, after 20 min uptime the fans just begin to spin BUT after some seconds they stop! :) At least this happened three times. I have the feeling that the fans are spinning more frequently than in GNU/Linux but I am paranoid. But I would like to understand what happened... 1- Do I need apmd_flags="-C" line in /etc/rc.conf.local if I boot enabling acpi? 2- Why is acpi not enabled per default? 3- Is acpitz automatically enabled if I enable acpi (is it a part of acpi)?
