it has been long tome since i posted here... is there a soul here who knows if freebsd 4-stable on dell inspiron 5000e can survive more than one "stand by/suspend" cycles, measured in minutes, w/o hard reboots? last time i tried, when dell issued an bios-apm update, around may 6 2001 w/ then current 4-stable version, the exercise was in futility. and, david wolfskil, in thread "Battery recall affecting some Dell Inspiron 5000-series laptops", suggested that power management might have been done by acpi instead of apm. is that true, or close to it? is acpi functioning in 4-stable now? would it be reasonable to assume that if i don't find any '*acpi*' file in /usr/src (updated yesterday) then there won't be any such functionality either? -- so, do you like word games or scrabble? - parv To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
