A few things here. apmd is not the same as apm. So check your /etc/rc.conf to see if you have both apm_enable and apmd_enable set to "YES". apmd is just a daemon to take care of some apm events, but for shutdown -p it's not needed. Try 'apmconf -e' on the command line. If you still get 'apm: can

This discussion sort of sparked my interest, so I started looking at what exactly is on the fixit floppy. As I expected there was a load of crunched binaries (interesting technique btw) but my eye fell on tar. It wasn't a hardlink to the crunched binary like the others, it was a shell script. The

Hi, I recently upgraded from 3.2-R to 3.4-R and there's a huge difference in running xmms. On 3.2-R I had to give it a realtime priority (lowest rtprio, 31, worked fine) to make it run smoothly. With that realtime prio it usually worked fine, except when it ran into a bug that made it go into an
