OK, so the general information I've been reading from various posts and webpages seems to indicate that crappy ACPI support isn't really FreeBSD's fault. Apparently, even though ACPI has been around since 95', manufacturers can't seem to get the implementation compatible with the specification. I assume that some manufacturers write their own windows drivers to make up for the buggy implementation? Is that a pretty good evaluation? Or is it more complicated? <snip> -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
