This machine has almost 2 years old. Before I install FBSD the battery last like 2 hours. But now... I already load tochiba_acpi in loader.conf, but nothing new... I am going to turn on acpi verbosity to see what i can get from there. thanks, daniel Ian Smith wrote: > On Tue, 30 Dec 2008, Daniel Leal wrote: > > > Well, the hw.acpi.thermal is not shown in the sysctl hw.acpi list.
