Hi all
I'm running FreeBSD 4.2-S on a Compaq Presario laptop. This laptop seems
to have APM support (at least it does under MS-Windows), but FreeBSD
doesn't recognise it as such. I've gone so far as to add additional log
messages in the kernel probes for the APM BIOS, and these log that the
initial vm86 BIOS call to get the APM BIOS version fail.
Is this really exceptional, or are there lots of unsupported APM BIOSes?
I believe that APM is a WinTel `standard'; just how standard is it
really?
