There's a number of things that we do differently if apm is in the kernel, since apm is a known rogue when it comes to timing things. Since the clock attaches well before apm, it is hard to go back and retro-fit things to behave properly. With enough work, you might be able to pull it off. PNPBIOS I think is similar, but I don't know it well enough. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to [email protected] with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
