Hi gang

Re: 2.0.2_STABLE

(Have googled on this but no answer.)

I thought that my newish laptop didn't support apm and so have been
limping along with a less than fully featured acpi.

I have just heard about 'dmidecode' which I installed from
../pkgsrc/sysutils.

dmidecode | grep APM says:

	APM is supported

So, I read up on enabling apm and compliled a new kernel, put apmd=YES
in rc.conf.

On reboot an error message says:

	apmd: cannot open device file /dev/apmctl 

ls -la | grep apm in /dev gives:

crw-r--r--   1 root  wheel      21,      0 May 12 19:35 apm
crw-r--r--   1 root  wheel      21,      8 May 12 19:35 apmctl

Any ideas?
