As Rui suggested, add 'powerd_enable=YES' to rc.conf for that. However it does seem a bit odd that hw.acpi.thermal sysctls aren't showing up. > Regarding the battery, do do you think that with the following list I can > monitor the charge and be sure that I will not have an unexpected shutdown if > I run my laptop just on battery?

When fully charged my Thinkpad T23 shows state 0, battery.life 98 to 100 (%). If your battery is ok you should get at least 1 hour on battery, maybe 2 or 3 hours, so that does look like a problem .. whether hardware or ACPI I can't guess. Is this a new machine? Have you tried loading acpi_toshiba(4) ? Try kldload acpi_toshiba, if it's of any help, put acpi_toshiba_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf cheers, Ian > Rui Paulo wrote: > > > > On 30 Dec 2008, at 17:59, Daniel Leal wrote: > > > > > Thanks for your reply. > > > > > > So that means that simply my laptop is not able to deal with it, or maybe > > > in a future FreeBSD release it could work? > > > > Yes, but, of course, you can try to find the problem and I'll try to help > > you with a fix if time permits :-) > > > > Regards, > > -- > > Rui Paulo
