Check out /etc/devd.conf and /etc/rc.d/power_profile and /etc/defaults/rc.conf to see how I use it to change Cx states on AC line transitions. We just enabled devd by default so hopefully more people will notice this capability. -Nate _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
