        Got a question about this...  I have a IBM ThinkPad 770Z and I
think it's APM when it was running the pre-load Win98 but with WinME and
WinXP, it was running under ACPI.  However, with the GENERIC kernel, the
fan doesn't seem to go on.  Is there a way to disable the system from
suspending when the lid is closed?  or would adding device apm to the
kernel and then enabling apmd and apm in rc.conf cause it to read the
settings in the BIOS which I used the ThinkPad PS2 utility to configure
instead?  When I attempt to do a make buildworld, after about 5 minutes it
would display the following message and then the system shuts off by
itself shortly thereafter.

Sep  9 11:01:32 exabyte kernel: acpi_tz0: WARNING - current temperature
(97.8C) exceeds system limits

This is what my sysctl hw.acpi output looks like.  Originally, all the
hw.acpi.thermal.tz*.active were -1 so I changed it to 1 but it still
didn't turn the fans on.
