It's not

device acpi.

It is:

Do I have to remove device apm?  Also, once I compile with device acpica, is 
there a port I have to install for acpiconf and the other configuration 
programs?

You don't *have* to remove it from your kernel, but you might as well,
because it won't work with acpica in there.

Note too that I've found acpica can cause some other devices not to
work as well:

% grep 'could not\|cannot' /var/run/dmesg.boot
viapropm0: could not allocate bus space
fdc0: cannot reserve I/O port range

The devel/acpicatools port gets you:

% pkg_info -L acpicatools\*
Information for acpicatools-20030523.0:

Files:
/usr/local/bin/acpicadb
/usr/local/bin/iasl
/usr/local/bin/acpidump
/usr/local/man/man8/acpidump.8.gz

And that's the only acpi related port available.  I guess you need 5.x
for acpiconf(8).  There's a bunch of acpi sysctls you could play with,
but I've no idea what could be done using them.

Cheers,

Matthew

 Hello List,
 
 I have ACPI working on a desktop running 5.1 and everything works great.  If I 
 press the power button, the system shutsdown correctly, the monitor shuts off 
 after 30 minutes, etc.  I have a laptop that I'm not using 5.1, but 4.9 
 instead (for reasons, see previous posts re: mouse).  According to the 
 FreeBSD handbook, I can implement ACPI in 4.9 (rather than APM) by simply 
 adding device acpi to the kernel configuration.  I tried this and get:
 
 device acpi unknown

Close, but no cigar.  It's

device acpica

Cheers,

Matthew
