See Porter's Handbook and/or http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-ports/2006-May/093088.html for details. As for APM/ACPI knob, I think APM is necessary on 4.x. Not sure=20 about 5.x status. If acpi on 5.x is usable, I suggest we just use acpi and use apm on 4.x i386 only? Regards, Rong-En Fan >=20 > Scot >=20 > --=20 > DISCLAIMER: > No electrons were mamed while sending this message.
