Hi, I have installed a FreeBSD 5.1 on my Laptop (Compaq Armada E500). I have a problem with the power management :
- I can't use the ACPI module : the kernel can't be loaded. OK no problem ! As I saw within many FAQs, it's normal (it depends on the type of the laptop). - I would like to use APM so ! I realize the following stages (see http://freebsd.unixtech.be/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/laptop/x61.html) : * I build my kernel with "device apm" * /boot/device.hints : hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" #hw.acpi.ec.event_driven="1" hint.apm.0.disabled="0" hint.apm.0.flags="0x20" * /boot/loader.conf : apm_load="YES" * /etc/rc.conf apm_enable="YES" But during the boot I get an error : "can't open /dev/apm" Indeed, there is no device with apm* name within /dev How can I create this device (In the freebsd-questions list somebody tails me that's not possible with 5.X there is no possibility to use a kind of makedev). Thanks a lot. -- "No guts No glory" =] PASSELAC Armand [= ( @ @ ) Ingenieur Systemes-Reseaux & Securite ORBYTES INGENIERIE _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
