I am using FreeBSD 12.2 (x64) on a desktop system, with an i9-7940X processor, 
ASUS TUF X299 board, and Nvidia GTX 970 GPU. The GPU is using the nvidia-driver 
port with ACPI support, and a generic kernel.
If I just ignore the computer for a while, apart from observing what it does, 
the screen turns off after 10 minutes (as I requested). After another 10 
minutes, the screen turns back on briefly, with a notification that the system 
is about to suspend. However, there is a little hard drive activity for another 
five minutes or so before this activity is extinguished. At that point the 
power light remains on steadily (should be blinking, as it does when Windows or 
Linux is suspended on the same hardware). The computer cannot be resumed with 
the keyboard, mouse, or power switch, and a hard reset is needed. (The mouse is 
wireless, but it awakens the other two types of OS.)
Since this is a desktop system, it would be acceptable to use it without power 
management, although such efforts have been met with "panic: running without 
device atpic requires local APIC." Or if it is going to suspend improperly, it 
should happen after the computer has been idle for about an hour, so that it 
never does actually suspend. It is possible that my hardware is just not fully 
compatible with FreeBSD, but if it is I'd like to solve the problem.
