I _do_ have hardware support, I have a recent BIOS, and dmesg tells me: apm0: on motherboard apm: found APM BIOS v1.2, connected at v1.2 I have compiled APM support in my kernel: device apm0 at nexus? When I execute a shutdown -p, it just halts, the power isn't turned off. My system is a recent FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE (~2 weeks old), Pentium 2, dmesg tells me: CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (400.91-MHz 686-class CPU) chip1: port 0x5000-0x500f at device 7.3 on pci0 pcib0: on motherboard Does anyone have a clue? Is there anyone out there that has this feature actually working? I've tried this on 3.3-S and 4.0-S before, but I could never get it to work. And a friend of mine, running 4.0-S and now 4.1-S, reported the same problem. Any ideas ?
