I realize the memory can't be shutdown without Hibernation support, but the disks can be spun down manually (using atacontrol): http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=1012 However, when I try to do that, I find that the disk wakes within 2 seconds of spinning down. I noticed that the spindowns are logged. Could the log being written be causing the drive to spin up again? SNIP! I initially set the time-out to 60 seconds, then 300 seconds in a vain attempt to see the actual power savings. With a 900 second time-out, the drive only spun down once in the past 12 hours. It appears that syslogd can defer *one* log entry. Understandable, since you don't want to loose too many logs in a power failure. tail /var/log/messages (trimmed entries from the 300 second time-out): Nov 13 07:46:59 dusty kernel: ad4: Idle, spin down Nov 13 07:46:59 dusty kernel: wakeup from sleeping state (slept 00:35:44) Nov 13 07:47:01 ad4: request while spun down, starting. It looks like the logging of the spin down woke up the sleeping system. Either that, or the computer did not know the actual spin-down time. The sleep time was reported to be 2144 seconds: 1244 seconds longer than the the set spin-down time (900 seconds). If it was spun-down when I checked this morning, the difference was less than 3W. Though, the current drive (5400RPM) uses ~2 fewer watts than the old (7200 RPM) drive. I'm an not sure, since I replaced RAM, and installed an optical drive since measuring my base-line (with the old drive). My computer case has noise-dampening foam for the hard-disk. I can't hear if the drive is spinning over the inverter in the ADSL modem (9W) and the (quiet) fan noise from both the router (21W) and server. I can heard a click when it starts up, that is about it. Regards, James Phillips __ Yahoo! Canada Toolbar: Search from anywhere on the web, and bookmark your favourite sites.

One of the first things you should consider is either disabling syslogd entirely, or else setup logging to a RAMdisk (ie, have an initial copy of what's in /var on the hard disk, setup a RAMdisk and mount as /var, then copy over the /var tree from hard drive to RAMdisk during early stages of system boot). The advice given for NanoBSD or embedded NetBSD systems about conserving writes to a flash-based filesystem would be helpful in your case. You might also want to note that 2.5 laptop drives are/should be explicitly designed to spin down and park themselves much more often than generic IDE drives are; some generic desktop drives will fail quite rapidly (ie, in a matter of months) if you attempt to spin them down many times a day. You might also give some consideration to trying a Mac Mini with maximum power-savings mode enabled; OSX provides significant amounts of hysteresis to avoid spinning the disks up and down, and will buffer significant amounts of data being changed into RAM to coalesce filesystem activity into fewer periods of disk activity.

A note to the OP. The only way I've found to keep a disk spun down
under FreeBSD is using memory devices for both /var and /tmp.
Disabling syslogd isn't enough, nor is modifying /etc/crontab, root's
crontab (or even disabling cron) to limit disk access. But to use
memory devices and have a normal system, you'll need to re-populate
both /var and /tmp at startup. Which, it turns out, means starting
with /etc/diskless.

Re: APM
I was going to just respond to myself again, but I see I generated some
discussion :)
Anyway, In the
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=1012
page at least two people mentioned the ATAidle utility. It is not recommended
for the same reason APM isn't: devices sleep without OS consent.
Anyway, I now know the drive saves 5W spun down because this command has
immediate effect:
# ataidle -o /dev/ad4
Followed shortly by:
Nov 13 16:51:11 dusty kernel: ad4: TIMEOUT-WRITE=DMA retrying (1 retry left)
LBA=23261855
I settled on (But using the rc.conf format):
ataidle -I 6 -S 10 /dev/ad4
because I think the Idle timer (minutes) and Supsend timer (minutes) stack
to 16 minutes. Setting the suspend time has an effect of immediately spinning
down the disk though (mentioned in the man page)
No logging means I have to figure out how often the drive spins up/down using
other means. (I don't think the wake from idle (disk seems to keep spinning) or
suspend triggers a message.)

I suspect they are rated for a set number of power-on cycles. If (say) 5
shutdowns/day kills the drive in months, it must be rated for something like
1000. (hmm, I should look it up.)
Ideally, I want 1-5 shutdowns a day, depending on use. I know for a fact I want
the drives shutdown when the server is idling for hours at a time. When set
for a 15 minute time out (with atacontrol), the drive was not getting spurious
shut-downs.

I think I thought of that (putting /var/log in RAM) on my own: it does not
really fit what my server does though: it is a file server.
I have about 5-6GB set aside (big enough to hold a DVD image) for /var and
/tmp, and only 256MB of memory. Backing the ramdisk with swap defeats the
purpose.
Chuck wrote:

That is only half the battle: you need a way to flush it to disk when it
actually spins up; else risk loosing log data (In the event of power/hardware
failure).
I suppose a cron job backing up periodic filesytem snapshots is possible, but
you would have to trigger on the number of interrupts seen by the disk or
something to avoid waking it. I was thinking /proc/interrupts , but that is a
Linux feature :P
Do the messages from spinning the disk back up (with atacontrol) have any
hooks? I suppose if you are desperate, you can (tail+) grep /var/log/messages.
Someone should add a section named Non-Diskless
Diskless Operation
to the Handbook.
I like to think what I am doing (with 10 year old hardware) is cutting edge
research. That is to say, the normal mode of operation for servers is to hold
your nose and let them run 24/7. It is more reliable that way.
The current trend for mitigating that waste of energy is consolidation. If you
can put a dozen servers in one box, hopefully only 1 or 2 will be active at
once.
However, I think drivers and hardware (like NICs with WOL) may have matured to
the point that it is possible to run non-critical servers (and desktops) in
such a way that they only turn on when needed. Suspend mode for the newer
desktops here draw only ~3watts: comparable to the power-off (soft-off) state.
Thanks again for all the help!

APM
Hello, On Tuesday, I was all happy that I got APM working on my pre-2000 Compaq Deskpro following these instructions: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=4619 On Wednesday, after configuring the router to wake the server whenever DHCP leases are touched (quickdirty hack), I was disappointed to learn that suspend mode saves only ~1watt over the inherent use of the HLT instruction by the kernel. I was expecting a savings of ~6 watts due to the disk spinning down. Approx power consumption (+- 1W): 51 Watts (busy; disk + CPU IIRC; not retested with DVD activity) 35 Watts idle 34 Watts suspend 3 Watts off (Measured using Kill-A-Watt model P4400) Part of the problem may be that I am not using the on board IDE controllers: I am using a Promise (Ultra100TX2) PDC20268 I realize the memory can't be shutdown without Hibernation support, but the disks can be spun down manually (using atacontrol): http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=1012 However, when I try to do that, I find that the disk wakes within 2 seconds of spinning down. I noticed that the spindowns are logged. Could the log being written be causing the drive to spin up again? apm(4) says that apm gets around that problem by logging the suspend event AFTER waking up. I suppose it would be tricky to concurrently log to spin down of several disks that way. For example: Say disk with /var/log spins down at 00:00:05, but the rarely-used /srv drive spins down at 00:00:07. Should the logging drive defer recording BOTH spin-down messages, or spin-up, then spin-down again at about 00:15:20? Not that important for a 1W savings, but apm says my BIOS supports the following capabilities: global standby state // Supported sleep modes global suspend state resume timer from standby // Resume timer allows sleep to last resume timer from suspend // specific period of time? RI resume from standby // Wake on interrupts, i assume RI resume from suspend Would it be possible to coordinate the cron dameon with the suspend timer? Ie: wake 15 sec- 5min before next cron job? Not worth it without hibernate support though. apm(4) does not mention suspend timers at all. acpi(4) mentions timer as a sub-device and feature that can be disabled.

Clearchains wpi and apm/acpi
Hi, I successfully installed wpi driver and it works great. I'm using acpi. But my screen doesn't go off when I close the lid, and I read that apm could do the trick. So I disabled acpi and enabled apm. Woohoo! The screen shutdowns as predicted. BUT, the wpi driver won't work anymore! I guess that it somehow depends on acpi. Do you guys have seen anything alike? Is it possible to make wpi work with apm? I'm running 7.0-current i386, on a Dell Inspiron 6400. Thanks!!

Toshiba Tecra: ACPI and APM woes...
Hi all, (apologies for the long email!) I've recently made the switch to FBSD 6.0 (FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE #6: Mon Jan 30 15:08:44 EST 2006) from WinXP on my work laptop, a Toshiba Tecra A2. Apps work great, but the system feels a bit unstable...too many (fatal) crashes for my liking. (and hardly any crashes under windows XP - NOT wanting to start a flame war, but I rather avoid the obligatory your hardware is broken emails ;) ) Anyway, the major crashes seem to be related to power management. I tried first ACPI enabled (default) including the acpi_toshiba and the toshctl port. S3 (suspend) worked fine, but on resume the disk subsystem died on me and after a few seconds it just panic'ed with lots of errors: g_vfs_done():ad0s1d(write .)] error 6 g_vfs_done():ad0s1d(write .)] error 6 g_vfs_done():ad0s1d(write .)] error 6 g_vfs_done():ad0s1d(write .)] error 6 (s1d - /var) so that was a no goer :( .I have since then upgraded the bios from version 1.30 to version 1.40 with no changes in the result. The .asl generated with acpidump have some minor differences between versions. Is there some part of ACPI I can disable to get this fixed? Is there a fixed / improved ASL for this laptop? Also, what is the difference between ACPI works under Windows because uses it 'real mode' ... ? ( I think i read it in some docs about acpi) So I had to fall back onto APM, which is definitely not my fav. option. Now, apm seems to lock up a lot at random times. Sometimes when coming back from sleep, sometimes it will come back ok, then I will run my 'wireless_up.sh' (ifconfig iwi0 up; dhclient iwi0 ) and this will lock up / reset the machine. The other issue is the crash when doing apm -z from X ( search for my post lockup when suspending from X, Jan 30th 06 for details). But I will give a try to the trick mentioned in a page about IBM laptops (using vidcontrol to switch to the text vc before zzz). Not sure if this is anything important or not, but the lock ups seemed to happen a lot more often when I had loaded (via loader.conf) vesa.ko, saver_fire.ko and kqemu.ko attached: DMESG , with acpi disabled (first boot, then a crash - see the fs-not-clean lines, then the boot with APM) sysctl acpi-lines when acpi enabled Kernel Conf. output of toshctl -a (works fine with APM): [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Sat Feb 4 01:53:42 2006] ~ $ sudo toshctl -a bios.date: 1114351200 bios.id: 64767 bios.version: 1.40 hci.cpu_speed: -1 hci.fan: -1 hci.lcd.backlight: 1 hci.lcd.brightness: 4 hci.lcd.mode: 2 hci.lcd.type: 4 hci.power_source: 1 hci.select_bay: 2 hci.software_suspend: 1 --- I am running with apm_enable=yes and apmd_enable=yes in rc.conf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Sat Feb 4 01:55:54 2006] ~ $ cat /boot/loader.conf.local #bitmap_load=YES #splash_bmp_load=YES #bitmap_name=/boot/apache_header.bmp ### MODULES TO LOAD ### apm_load=YES if_iwi_load=YES snd_ich_load=YES speaker_load=YES # need vesa? #vesa_load=YES # QEmu Accelerator #kqemu_load=YES # Need this for XCDRoast atapicam_load=YES hw.ata.atapi_dma=1 # Java needs this linprocfs_load=YES # ACPI for TOSH - not using ACPI #acpi_toshiba_load=YES ### OTHER OPTIONS ### autoboot_delay=5 #loader_logo=beastiebw --- thanks in advance for any help / advice / suggestions you can provide :) Beto, wanting to have the rock stable BSD from my servers working better on this laptop. acpisem37 3K - 37 64 acpitask 0 0K - 28 32 acpica 186998K -36311 16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048,4096 acpi_perf 1 1K -1 512 acpidev74 3K - 74 32 debug.acpi.do_powerstate: 1 debug.acpi.acpi_ca_version: 0x20041119 debug.acpi.semaphore_debug: 0 hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S3 S4 S5 hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5 hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S3 hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE hw.acpi.standby_state: S1 hw.acpi.suspend_state: S3 hw.acpi.sleep_delay: 1 hw.acpi.s4bios: 0 hw.acpi.verbose: 0 hw.acpi.reset_video: 1 hw.acpi.cpu.cx_supported: C1/0 C2/1 C3/85 hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: C1 hw.acpi.cpu.cx_usage: 100.00% 0.00% 0.00% hw.acpi.battery.life: 78 hw.acpi.battery.time: -1 hw.acpi.battery.state: 2 hw.acpi.battery.units: 1 hw.acpi.battery.info_expire: 5 hw.acpi.acline: 1 hw.acpi.toshiba.force_fan: 0 hw.acpi.toshiba.video_output: 1 hw.acpi.toshiba.lcd_brightness: 4 hw.acpi.toshiba.lcd_backlight: 1 hw.acpi.toshiba.cpu_speed: 4 hw.acpi.thermal.min_runtime: 0 hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate: 10 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 55.0C hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.passive_cooling: 1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.thermal_flags: 0 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._PSV: 102.0C hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._HOT: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT: 102.0C hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._ACx: 102.0C 102.0C -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 machdep.acpi_timer_freq: 3579545 machdep.acpi_root: 983424 dev.acpi.0.%desc: TOSHIB 750 dev.acpi.0.%driver: acpi dev.acpi.0.%parent: nexus0 dev.pci_link.0.%parent: acpi0
6.0-RELEASE Thinkpad 600e SMBus IOCTL: Device not configured error apm issues.
Hello, This is my second email to this list, I got no response from the first email I sent, I hope i'm providing enough information. I'm currently running FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE on my IBM Thinkpad 600e 2645-4AU with a custom kernel. I updated the BIOS to the latest version that IBM offers ( INET36WW http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=DSHY-46HLKQ). I've searched google quite a bit on how to get this laptop properly working in FreeBSD. I'm using APM on my system, one thing I noticed is that when running 'apm' the Remaining battery time is not consistent, it jumps from 2:00:00 to 3:05:00 back to 2:35:00 it's really all over the place. The Remaining battery does not randomly change, so i'm assuming that is correct? I also noticed that whenever my laptop comes out of suspend ( apm -Z ), the video color is distorted I'm using VESA with 'vidcontrol MODE_279' 1024x768x16, all other modes seem to do the same thing however when coming out of suspend mode it distorts to a different color, so on mode 279 it distorts the white color to a light blue, and with 280 it distorts the white color to red, it distorts other colors as well but that's the main color I notice. I've compiled smbus into my kernel and I load the intpm driver and the /dev/smb0 is created. I tried using 'chm' but I get these errors: I have listed pciconf, dmesg, loader.conf, device.hints, and kernel config below. I appreciate any help that anyone is able to provide, I would love to have this Laptop working 100%. Thank you. -Ross chm: ioctl: Device not configured IOCTL: Device not configured IOCTL: Device not configured IOCTL: Device not configured IOCTL: Device not configured IOCTL: Device not configured IOCTL: Device not configured IOCTL: Device not configured IOCTL: Device not configured IOCTL: Device not configured IOCTL: Device not configured Motherboard Temperature: 191 ° C CPU_0 Temperature: 191 ° C CPU_1 Temperature: 191 ° C IOCTL: Device not configured VCore: 2.98438 V IOCTL: Device not configured Vit: 2.98438 V IOCTL: Device not configured Vio: 2.98438 V IOCTL: Device not configured +5V: 4.98391 V IOCTL: Device not configured +12V: 11.9375 V IOCTL: Device not configured -12V:-11.9375 V IOCTL: Device not configured -5V: -4.98391 V IOCTL: Device not configured Fan 1: 883 rpm IOCTL: Device not configured Fan 2: 1767 rpm IOCTL: Device not configured Fan 3: 3534 rpm pciconf -vl: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x06 card=0x chip=0x71908086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82443BX/ZX 440BX/ZX CPU to PCI Bridge (AGP Implemented)' class= bridge subclass = HOST-PCI [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:0: class=0x060400 card=0x chip=0x71918086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x01 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82443BX/ZX 440BX/ZX AGPset PCI-to-PCI bridge' class= bridge subclass = PCI-PCI [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2:0: class=0x060700 card=0x00eb1014 chip=0xac1d104c rev=0x00 hdr=0x02 vendor = 'Texas Instruments (TI)' device = 'PCI1251 PC Card CardBus Controller' class= bridge subclass = PCI-CardBus [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2:1: class=0x060700 card=0x00eb1014 chip=0xac1d104c rev=0x00 hdr=0x02 vendor = 'Texas Instruments (TI)' device = 'PCI1251 PC Card CardBus Controller' class= bridge subclass = PCI-CardBus [EMAIL PROTECTED]:6:0: class=0x040100 card=0x10101014 chip=0x60011013 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Cirrus Logic' device = 'CS4610 CrystalClear SoundFusion PCI Audio Accelerator' class= multimedia subclass = audio [EMAIL PROTECTED]:7:0: class=0x068000 card=0x chip=0x71108086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4/4E/4M ISA Bridge' class= bridge [EMAIL PROTECTED]:7:1: class=0x010180 card=0x chip=0x71118086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4/4E/4M IDE Controller' class= mass storage subclass = ATA [EMAIL PROTECTED]:7:2: class=0x0c0300 card=0x chip=0x71128086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4/4E/4M USB Interface' class= serial bus subclass = USB [EMAIL PROTECTED]:7:3:class=0x068000 card=0x chip=0x71138086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4/4E/4M Power Management Controller' class= bridge [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x03 card=0x00dd1014 chip=0x000510c8 rev=0x20 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Neomagic Corporation' device = 'NM2200 MagicMedia 256AV' class= display subclass = VGA Here is my dmesg ( this is after It wakes from the lid being opened after it's closed, I get some ROUTE_INTERRUPT failed mesages : Copyright (c) 1992-2005 The FreeBSD Project.

Computer hanging when trying to load APM, at boot time
Hi. As written in the subject, my computer freezes at the point it should load APM. However, it does boot in safe mode, and shutdown -p now works perfectly. Moreover, unfortunatly, when I boot in safe mode, only one of my two processors is being used (it is therefore impossible to always boot in safe mode). Thus, my question is: What does booting in safe mode changes, about APM, so that it works? Actually, I would like this function to work, since it is pretty useful with SSH. Thanks. Notes: 1: For sure, the problem is about it since my computer boots perfectly when disabled in device.hints, but doesn't when enabled. 2: I can't use ACPI since my BIOS is on the black list. 3: I am using FreeBSD 5.3. 4: My server is a HP Kayak XU/400, dual Pentium II Xeon 400 Mhz, 640 Megabytes. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: acpi, wi0 and apm.
Hi. You need to edit /boot/device.hints and, at the line that is about disabling apm, and for which the actual value is 1, change it for 0. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
acpi, wi0 and apm.
I have a problem with my WaveLAN. It works fine when I boot my FreeBSD 5.4-RC3 with acpi disabled. But when i enable acpi it says: wi0: Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE at port 0x100-0x13f irq 11 function 0 co nfig 1 on pccard0 wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x; event status 0x8000 wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x; event status 0x8000 wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x; event status 0x8000 : init failed device_attach: wi0 attach returned 6 Then I tried to use apm instead. (worked fine in FreeBSD 4.) But i've compiled device apm into the kernel but I don't have any /dev/apm. -- MVH Peter Ankerstål. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
apm on 5.3
I'm trying to get APM to work (ACPI makes the kernel crap itself when I insert or remove a pcmcia card into my Armada m700 notebook) and load the apm.ko from loader.conf. However, it doesn't seem to create the necessary device entry /dev/apm, and apmd and apm(8) complain about that. What's the proper way to enable apm on 5.3-STABLE? Or, any way to enable it at all? Do I have to compile the driver into the kernel instead? mkb. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Unable to get APM running on an Acer Travelmate 4002WLMi
Hi list, I simply can't get APM to work on this laptop. It is a travelmate 4002WLMi (P-M 1.6) on which I've just installed FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE, and built a custom kernel with apm, apm_saver and acpi (also tried with only apm, apm+apm_saver, and now apm+apm_saver+acpi) I had set the hints to disable ACPI and enable APM on /boot/device.hints (don't know the exact names now and I've just shut the laptop down) - This resulted in no /dev/apm and /dev/apmctl entries being created.. I tried changing the order of the statements (enable APM first then disable ACPI).. to no avail I also tried enabling both, which obviously didn't work quite well :-) apm_enable=YES and apmd_enable=YES on /etc/rc.conf apm_load=YES on /boot/loader.conf Still, /dev/apm*'s never show up. Except if I actually disable APM and enable ACPI instead, /dev/apm will show.. but no /dev/apmctl. I'm new to the laptop world and I really would like to enable power saving features on this laptop.. I had managed to get est/estctrl running, and it was changing my CPU from 600 to 1600 ghz according to the load, but when I disable APM and enable ACPI this will cease working and the CPU will always run at 1600ghz. Also, acpiconf -i0 says device not configured.. As far as I was able to see, most battery monitoring stuff (integrated on KDE and all) will depend on APM.. So I'd really like to enable it! Am I missing some step to get APM working? Or does this laptop just plain and simply doesn't support it ? Please enlighten me.

acpi, apm and 5.3R
On my old 4.10 system I have set up the BIOS to turn the power on at 07:00, and this works fine ensuring that the system will come back on after a temporary mains failure when I am off on vacation. No such luck om 5.3R When I enter a shutdown -p now command I am told System halted. Push any button to restart. If I then stop the PC by pushing the Power Off button, the PC will not restart at 07:00 the next morning. I have tried pulling the mains plug on a running system, then insering it again after a while: It does not start at 07:00 I have experimented with disabling acpi, and compiling apm into my GENERIC kernel.

APM and DRI lockups when suspending
Does anybody know if there is a workaround for the problem with DRI and APM within X? If I load the DRI module in my XF86Config file, and attempt to suspend my laptop, the system freezes on resume, then reboots. If I comment out the line Load dri out of the Module section in /etc/X11/XF86Config, all is well. But now I don't have direct rendering capability, correct?

APM and DRI lockups when suspending
Duane, there have always been issues with this aspect of APM. I have found it sufficient to run two X servers to handle the issue. Most of my software runs in an X session without DRI enabled and then when I want to run accelerated 3D I just start up another X session with DRI enabled. For example, this can be done by running the following command from an xterm in the first (normal, non-DRI session): startx -- :1 -xf86config XF86Config.dri I've got DRI enabled in the XF86Config.dri file (which just resides under /etc/X11 along side the default config file) and this command starts up an X session on ttyv9 (alt-ctrl-F10). Be sure that you use a different window manager in your .xinitrc if you use either Gnome or KDE!! When I want to suspend, I just shut down the accelerated X session and then when I resume I can start it back up again without ill effects. I hope this helps! Sean Does anybody know if there is a workaround for the problem with DRI and APM within X? If I load the DRI module in my XF86Config file, and attempt to suspend my laptop, the system freezes on resume, then reboots. If I comment out the line Load dri out of the Module section in /etc/X11/XF86Config, all is well. But now I don't have direct rendering capability, correct? I don't think I have any apps yet that need direct rendering, so it probably isn't a huge deal (yet), but I would like to have it enable if possible.

Re: apm device not configured ?!
Julian, Did you try to add the following line to your /boot/kernel.conf file? en apm and make sure the file ends with a q all by itself on a line. Unfortunately I have quite some issues with either apm or acpi on my Dell laptop as well when installing FBSD 5.2; it stops during boot when a battery is connected and ACPI not disabled. It crashes on resume and my 3Com PCMCIA ethernet card stops working sometimes, needing an ifconfig down; ifconfig up. Maybe the PC-card problem is not apm/ACPI related?

You can use this method to figure out the keycode for that particular key. For example, the left windows key on my keyboard is keycode 115 wity a keysym name of Super_L. You can use this info to configure xmodmap(1). For example, I have a file in my home directory called .xmodmaprc in which I define key mappings for the numeric keypad so that I never have to worry about the numlock key again. Some lines in this file might look like: keycode 79 = 7 keycode 80 = 8 keycode 81 = 9 As for the console keyboard maps, I believe they are stored in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps. I think the utility kbdcontrol(1) will allow you to change the current keymap. If you want to load a particular keymap on boot, you can add a line like the following to your /etc/rc.conf file: keymap=gr.elot.acc (I stole that one from an earlier post by Giorgos Keramidas) Nathan -- GPG Public Key ID: 0x4250A04C gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 4250A04C http://63.105.21.156/gpg_nkinkade_4250A04C.asc msg17818/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
/dev/apm: device not configured
Hello All I'm trying to use apmd on my Thinkpad but I can't seem to figure it out. I have the support in my kernel: root:/home/johnnyb dmesg | grep pm intpm0: Intel 82371AB Power management controller port 0xefa0-0xefaf irq 9 at device 7.3 on pci0 intpm0: I/O mapped efa0 intpm0: intr IRQ 9 enabled revision 0 intpm0: PM I/O mapped ef00 but as you can see, no /dev/apm0 (which I'm expecting to be in dmesg). If I try to use it, it fails: johnnyb:~ apm -l apm: can't open /dev/apm: Device not configured Any hints on where I'm going wrong? I have apmd_enable=YES in rc.conf and it doesn't seem to error out at boot time, but it doesn't work and I can't load it from the command line (same error about the unconfigured device). Any hints on how to get this working appreciated!

You need the apm0 device in your kernel, as well as the specific device for the particular Power management bus chipset you have: % grep pm /var/run/dmesg.boot apm0: APM BIOS on motherboard apm0: found APM BIOS v1.2, connected at v1.2 viapropm0: SMBus I/O base at 0xe800 viapropm0: VIA VT8233 Power Management Unit port 0xe800-0xe80f at device 17.0 on pci0 viapropm0: SMBus revision code 0x0 ie. edit the Kernel config to add a 'device apm0' line as follows: device apm0at nexus? flags 0x20 # Advanced Power Management apm0 is in GENERIC, but it's marked 'disable' by default. I think you can enable it using the GENERIC kernel by: ena apm0 in /boot/kernel.conf and userconfig_script_load=YES in /boot/loader.conf, but as I tend to automatically build myself a custom kernel I have never spent much time investigating. FreeBSD-5.0 might or might not work the same way, and you may find that ACPI is a better alternative for that OS version on some motherboards.

green- or apm-saver
Hello, what's the difference of the green and apm-console-saver? Are there restrictions when running X11? -Hanspeter To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
apm
Hi,
Sleep mode works when I manually do apm -z or
equivalently zzz. The problem is it is not
automatically invoked when the computer is idol for 20
mins. which I have set my bios for.
dmesg gives:
apm0: APM BIOS on motherboard
apm: found APM BIOS v1.2, connected at v1.2
so the device is being detected.
/etc/rc.conf has got the line:
apmd_enable=YES
/etc/apmd.conf has got:
apm_event SUSPENDREQ {
exec /etc/rc.suspend;
}
apm_event USERSUSPENDREQ {
exec sync sync sync;
exec sleep 1;
exec apm -z;
}
apm_event NORMRESUME, STANDBYRESUME {
exec /etc/rc.resume;
}
/etc/rc.suspend looks like:
if [ -r /var/run/rc.suspend.pid ]; then
exit 1
fi
echo $$ /var/run/rc.suspend.pid
# If you have troubles on suspending with PC-CARD
modem, try this.
# See also contrib/pccardq.c (Only for PAO users).
# pccardq | awk -F '~' '$5 == filled $4 ~ /sio/ \
# { printf(pccardc power %d 0, $1); }' | sh
logger -t apmd suspend at `date +'%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S'`
sync sync sync
sleep 3
rm -f /var/run/rc.suspend.pid
zzz
exit 0
/etc/rc.resume looks like:
if [ -r /var/run/rc.suspend.pid ]; then
kill -9 `cat /var/run/rc.suspend.pid`
rm -f /var/run/rc.suspend.pid
echo 'rc.suspend is killed'
fi
# Turns on a power supply of a card in the slot
inactivated.
# See also contrib/pccardq.c (only for PAO users).
# pccardq | awk -F '~' '$5 == inactive \
# { printf(pccardc power %d 1, $1); }' | sh
logger -t apmd resumed at `date +'%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S'`
sync sync sync
exit 0
I think that is most of the important info. Any help? Thanks.
