Hello,

I have the Gateway Solo 9300 with the ATI Mobility-P video card. I could
not get X to work, but I do have a working X server for it. I have seen
several people mention the Xig server, which sells for 199.00. I think
that pricing is obscene, and just wanted to mention that if anyone else is
having trouble getting X to work with this video card, Metro-X sells for
39.00 and works perfectly.

Now on to my problem. Apparently I am missing something trying to get APM
to work. I compiled the following line into my kernel:

device          apm0    at isa? disable flags 0x31 # Advanced Power Management

It compiled fine. I have been unable to find instructive documentation on
apm, but figured issuing the MAKEDEV command for apm would be the next
logical step.

Any effort to execute apm results in:

apm: can't open /dev/apm: Device not configured

Running apmconf yields:

apmconf: can't open '/dev/apm'

I am running FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE. Anyone who has any ideas, I would be
most appreciative. Im at a loss as to where to go next.

Thanks,

Jeff
