It's probably ACPI-only; welcome to FreeBSD-current. 8)

ACPI is the successor to APM, as well as tryi

I believe it is quite new ("designed for Windows Me").
I have to admit my ignorance - I've never heard of ACPI.

Yeah, I thought that APM was APM, but the apm device does nothing
on my desktop with power management hardware... That is, things like
'shutdown -p now' don't work, both 'apm' and 'apmd' just return
'device not configured', etc. Interestingly, at least 'shutdown -p'
does work with ACPI anyway :)

This is how it works in -current.

This is a FAQ; you have a geometry mismatch.
Make sure the BIOS on the card is set for 2GB mode, make sure sysinstall
detects a */128/32 geometry. 8GB mode doesn't work (my fault, will be
fixed once I get my lab set up and some free time).

I'm trying to get interfaces' list and infos with getifaddrs().
The ifa_data struct should contain all needed information, but
this is a NULL pointer for IPv4 interfaces. Why ?

No, as far as I know, those are coming in FreeBSD 5.0 (which won't be out

How can I see for myself that threads are really
implemented at the kernel level? I looked around
in /usr/src/sys/kern, but couldn't find anything
Hi,
I'm writing a console app, which needs to be quite colorful, and to use
customizable colors. Unfortunately, with ncurses, right after start_color(),
I get a can_change_color() == FALSE. Besides, COLORS is defined to as many
as the Co termcap capability, which is 8.
Well, all (well, most ;)
hi there,
after asking this in questions for a while, i want to give hackers a try.
is there a possibility to make a release with a custom kernel?
i know how to create a release but it contains always the GENERIC kernel.
thanks

Hi all,
I want to allocate an IRQ for a PCI device driver. Normally this is easy
enough, since the BIOS would reserve it for me, then I would just have to
bus_alloc_resource and not even care which IRQ line it's using.
Thing is, here the BIOS hasn't allocated an IRQ, so I'll need to
