Your info was useful, although I think you're missing a 0 in your psm hint (see below). I'm saddened that my t42p doesn't seem to support s4bios suspend (although it will hibernate w/out acpi). I've put notes around some of your settings based on my thinkpad research, could you confirm that I understand the how's and why's? > kernel > > options COMPAT_LINUX > options LINPROCFS [support linux-y stuff (not thinkpad specific)] > > /boot/loader.conf.local > > hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1" [handle a problem w/ em0, I don't seem to need this...] > hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" [make the dvd drive go faster] > hw.acpi.disable_on_poweroff="1" [keep the machine from randomly reawakening after shutdown] > # > acpi_video_load=YES [support various acpi-based video ops (e.g. setting brightness)] > ipfw_load="YES" [firewall (not thinkpad specific)] > ng_ubt_load=YES [load the netgraph bluetooth stuff (not really thinkpad specific)] > ntfs_load=YES [ntfs support (not thinkpad specific)] > snd_ich_load="YES" > sound_load="YES" [turn on sound support. I think that the second is redundant, it loads *all* of the modules, after the first one loads (presumably) the correct one.

I *think* you mean "0x2000", which sets the HOOKRESUME bit (see the psm manpage). 0x200 sets the noidprobe, which oughtn't help much.] > can i do better? Anything interesting to say about suspend/hibernate/acpi etc? Did you see my call for Thinkpad stories? Care to contribute? g.
