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

that. What's

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

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

Anyone who's using FreeBSD with a laptop:

Is that something that's controllable in FreeBSD? I don't see it in BIOS.
Is it a kernel thing?
This thing sleeps and wakes, sleeps and wakes about every 15 seconds.
