Re: Resubmission : Can't play MIDI files

On my Libretto 50CT it's a hardware restriction of the sound card, that there is no MIDI sound, if I remember right. I think there is a hint in the User Manual. You might search the archives or have a Web search for a software solution to overcome this.

Re: PAO freebsd installation libretto 70

I don't have it at hand now, but it shuts down - itself when the battery is low - when I press the power off button of the case - and by software I had to recompile the kernel, adding one line for APM (if I remember right over all the time).

Re: L50 bios-backup battery

The raw hibernation partition generated by Windows 95 is not used by the BIOS when hibernating in FreeBSD. Instead, the hibernation data are written into the "/usr" slice which destroys the main partition and leaves only a rudimentary operating system in "/root". This happens indepedently from having APM enabled or not as it is a BIOS function. If you have re-compiled your kernel with the APM option, the only difference is that you can manually hibernate before your battery is empty. To avoid crashing the hibernation data into my "/usr" slice, I generated a second raw hibernation partition from the FreeBSD installation program.
