ACPI and apm_saver?
ACPI works pretty well on my HP Pavilion Notebook. But is it possible to get the apm saver (apm_saver.ko) to work with ACPI? From what I understand, acpi is a superset of apm, and is able to provide some emulation of apm functionality. So, by this principle, shouldn't apm_saver work with acpi? I've got these in my /etc/rc.conf: apm_enable=YES apmd_enable=YES saver=apm Please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm sure I am. But the standby mode works great when I press the button or close the lid. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

It provides some of the same functionality from a user perspective, but it is not backwards compatiable with APM at a hardware perspective, so apm_saver will not work with ACPI. -- John Baldwin [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ Power Users Use the Power to Serve! - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

Someone needs to write an acpi_saver.ko. Ah! I thought about that myself. Basically, I need a way to blank the LCD screen like apm_saver.ko does. It doesn't sound like too difficult a task. But ACPI worked much better than APM on my laptop. Basically, every time apm_saver kicked in, my clock started losing clock ticks. On current, APM/apmd makes my clock lose ticks at an alarming rate, even when no APM functions are active. But since ACPI seems to work much better anyways, I'm not too worried about it.
