Upon booting, I have always seen APM connect errors, but assumed that this was because I had never configured it. After looking at the manpages for APM(4) & APM(8) on OpenBSD 4.0, it looked like all I needed to do is enable apmd through /etc/rc.conf. I wasn't seeing any entry in dmesg before editing /etc/rc.conf, & I'm still not seeing entries for apm0 afterwards. According to the laptop page:
http://openbsd.org/i386-laptop.html Thinkpad T43's support APM, however I'm seeing some hits on DaemonNews stating T43's have problems with APM on FreeBSD. I'm not seeing anything in the BIOS settings which toggle support, so I'm guessing whatever interface is present is enabled. Does anyone have any experience on what I can do to configure APM? dmesg on OpenBSD 4.0 follows: OpenBSD 4.0 (GENERIC) #1107: Sat Sep 16 19:15:58 MDT 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 799 MHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE, SSE2,SS,TM,SBF,EST,TM2 cpu0: unknown Enhanced SpeedStep CPU, msr 0x06120e2906000612 cpu0: using only highest and lowest power states cpu0: Enhanced SpeedStep 800 MHz (988 mV): speeds: 1867, 800 MHz real mem = 2137419776 (2087324K) avail mem = 1941614592 (1896108K) using 4256 buffers containing 106975232 bytes (104468K) of memory mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(b5) BIOS, date 11/30/06, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfd740, SMBIOS rev. 2.33 @ 0xe0 010 (64 entries) bios0: IBM 18714BU pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.1 @ 0xfd6d0/0x930 pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing Table rev 1.0 @ 0xfdeb0/256 (14 entries) pcibios0: PCI Interrupt Router at 000:31:0 ("Intel 82371FB ISA" rev 0x00) pcibios0: PCI bus #5 is the last bus bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0xf600!
