I noticed that after disabling gdm in /etc/rc.conf ^"gdm_enable="N"^ the system stays active. However ..... that is also the end the GUI .... in this case GNOME.
Since I could not work which a machine hibernating every ^10 minutes^, I have disabled gdm for the moment. That does not take away that that is ...... ridiculous !! There should be a way to disable ACPI in FreeBSD so that even gdm can not "kill" the machine !! I say ^kill^ because there is also another bug, the machine is not properly restarting form hibernation, Even not from S1.

I went into settings, but there is no way to adjust this feature. Some web searching brought me to this page: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/22 Apparently the 20-minute suspend was made unchangable (at least not without changing the source code for Gnome and rebuilding it). Apparently this change was made to comply with EU power regulations. Anyway, this ruled out Gnome for me. Kirk McKusick
