Yeah, that's what I thought. A while back someone sent me some patches that fix the broken statclock and make it work on laptops, I can't remember his name right now. However those patches are against FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE, and I'm not sure if they'd work for -CURRENT. I suppose I could do without the statclock for now, but it'd be nice to have :-) ================================================================= | Kenneth Culver | FreeBSD: The best NT upgrade | | Unix Systems Administrator | ICQ #: 24767726 | | and student at The | AIM: muythaibxr | | The University of Maryland, | Website: (Under Construction) | | College Park. | http://www.wam.umd.edu/~culverk/| ================================================================= On Wed, 10 Jan 2001, Mitsuru IWASAKI wrote: > Hi, > > > I'm not sure what pmtimer is supposed to do.
