I like what we do with the sound system. There's only /dev/dsp0 for people that want blast sound. Under the covers the sound system hooks up the drivers to that device. I think that doing /dev/battery would be a good idea. Doing device plumbing like this isn't too bad with newbus. Just make the battery device attach at either the acpi or apm devices. I'm doing something similar right now with a FM USB Radio driver I'm writing. I'm bringing Video 4 Linux API into the tree (assuming I don't get shot first) because there are so many cool progrms that work with that which don't work with FreeBSD. : Any suggestions on it?

APM and ACPI are mutually exclusive from what I understand. You should remove the apm device from your kernel config. Yes, some older machines w/ ACPI can support both of them at the same time, but most modern machines don't. It seems I still need to configure APM so that /dev/apm is there and battery monitoring utilities like the GNOME battery_applet can work. Battery, temp, etc, can be monitored via the hw.acpi sysctl tree. Someone will have to do the required conversion to the various APM utilities is GNOME and whatever else. Yes, you can get battery info. in C code like; sysctlbyname(hw.acpi.battery.time, percent, len, NULL, 0); Note that these MIBs maybe change in future...

Is yours similar to any data at there (Dell_I7500*) ? http://www.jp.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ACPI/data/?cvsroot=freebsd-jp I guess CardBus controllers are _SB_.PCI0.CB1_ and _SB_.PCI0.CB2_ but I didn't see any sleep/wakeup hack for them...
