In attempting to get sound working on a Dell 7500 Inspiron (cira 1994) I tried many combinations of ACPI and APM thinking that my sound problems stemmed from interrupt or irq/pnp problems. That turned out not to be the case. Now everything is working, but I am using a combination of the two as documented below. Did I just 'luck out' or does apmd (sorta) by design work with the environment it finds? ------------------------- /boot/loader.conf snd_maestro_load="YES" /etc/rc.conf apm_enable="YES" apmd_enable="YES" kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 9 0xc0400000 5cdad0 kernel 2 1 0xc09ce000 7200 snd_maestro.ko 3 2 0xc09d6000 1d4fc sound.ko 4 14 0xc09f4000 537f0 acpi.ko 5 1 0xc1690000 17000 linux.ko So apm.ko is not loaded. However everything works. I got to this configuration by accident (i.e., I forgot rc.conf). 'apm -l' works, 'apm -z' works and I can resume okay. _____ Douglas Denault http://www.safeport.com doug@safeport.com Voice: 301-469-8766 Fax: 301-469-0601
