Folks, I have a old Sony PCG-F350 laptop running FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p11 that I would really like to get suspend (zzz) using APM to work. This is a old laptop (~ 8 years?) and so I can't use ACPI. From dmesg : ACPI disabled by blacklist. Contact your BIOS vendor. My kernel config only differs from the GENERIC by : ident LAPTOP2 device sound device apm # no longer commented out My /boot/device.hints has : hint.apm.0.disabled="0" # default is 1 and I've tried : hint.apm.0.flags="0x20" both enabled and commented out. In /boot/loader.conf I have : apm_load="YES" I have tried with apmd both running and not running. 'apm -s' gives 1. dmesg tells me : apm0: <APM BIOS> on motherboard apm0: found APM BIOS v1.2, connected at v1.2 I find that APM sorta works - xbatt works for example. But if I try to suspend (zzz), whether from a xterm under X or not, the display stays the same, keyboard seems unresponsive although I can sometimes switch to a different virtual terminal, but as soon as I attempt to get a response by hitting any keys, I get a constant low beep and I have to kill the power. suspend used to work on this laptop long ago, with a older version of FreeBSD. Probably 4.4 to 4.8 or so. Any hints ? Am I missing something obvious? thanx! -rj
